What do you make of Oyebanji's huge margin at Bamidele's unit? Does it reflect the governor's grassroots strength or something else?

A 164 to minimal votes gap looks impressive on paper, but turnout at a single unit may not predict statewide trends.

That result looks striking, but one polling unit rarely mirrors wider state turnout.

Campaign teams should analyse unit-level results like this to refine their door-to-door strategies ahead of the main election.
