Ogun State governor-elect, Prince Dapo Abiodun visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, along with his deputy, Mrs. Noimot Salako Oyedele.
They presented their INEC certificates of return to the president.
They were led to the State House by All Progressives Congress leader and former Governor of the State, Chief Olusegun Osoba.
