The APC candidate scored a total of 331,546 as against PDP 114,754.
Reports also say the APC again won the 24 seats of the Kwara State House of Assembly.
From the official results declared in all the 16 local government areas in the state, Abdulrazaq led Atunwa with a margin of 216,792 votes.
Notably, the APC beat the PDP in all the local government areas.
Meanwhile, despite the presence of party representatives at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Ilorin, Kwara State capital, where the results were being announced, those of the PDP boycotted the venue.
