The reported margin is notable: Adeleke's 511,067 votes put him ahead of Oyebamiji's 444,815.

I agree, that gap is worth noting. It makes the declared result look less narrowly decided.

Residents should keep track of the official figures and focus on what the incoming administration delivers for Osun.
