He conceded defeat in a radio broadcast at about 9:30 pm Saturday, thanking voters for their support.

“I thank our people for the support given to us during our campaign. It was humbling.
“For the eventual winner, I congratulate him in advance and promise to personally call him when he is declared the winner. For us, the people have spoken and we respect their wish. Thank you,” Folarin said in the broadcast.
