The All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while reacting to the Labour Party win in Lagos, appealed to lagosians to be calm and eschew any act that can lead to breakdown of law and order.

Tinubu said the outcome of the election where the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi won in the State should not be a source of provocation adding that the beauty of democracy is that people have a right to vote for the candidate of their choice.



He further said that as a democrat he is bound to accept the outcome of any election whether favourable or not, according to the statement released on Monday by Presidential Campaign Council signed by Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga

Tinubu expressed serious concern over reports of violence in parts of the state especially reported attacks on some traders of Igbo origin while  condemning any form of violence against people of any ethnic group in Lagos.

He said, “The fact that the APC narrowly lost Lagos State to another party should not be the reason for violence. As a democrat, you win some, you lose some.



“We must allow the process to continue unhindered across the country while we maintain peace and decorum,” Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu said.

Peter Obi defeated Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) standard bearer, after the votes were calculated from all the 20 LGAs in the state.

Tinubu who is a former Lagos governor as the state is historically his stronghold.



Tinubu polled 572,606 behind Obi who had 582,354. Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) garnered 75,750 votes.

While Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Adewole Adebayo of Social Democratic Party (SDP) had 8,442 and 772 respectively.

It was recorded that the number of registered votes was put at 6,942,885; accredited voters 1,347,152, valid votes 1,271,451; rejected votes: 64,278 and total votes cast 1,335,729.
