In the first votes that failed to produce two thirds winner as stipulated in Article 16:2 of the Electoral Guidelines, Amaju had won with 25 votes over Ogunjobi’s nine and Iorfa’s six votes respectively.
Once Amaju was declared winner, he walked up to his fellow contestants hugging and parting them on the back. But when he opened his hands to embrace Iorfa, he turned his back and walked away. Other contestants filled Iorfa’s void by embracing their new President.
Iorfa fumed thereafter; “”I’ll never embrace him. He is not better than me. He did not beat me. Money won and not him. People sold their souls for money and you want me to embrace and hug him. I don’t pretend. I’ll never embrace him”, Iorfa said as he moved out of the hall.
Mant others begged him to show the sportsmanship in him and he retorted, “”he is not better than me. He did not win. Money won”.
