The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate has reacted to losing the presidential election in Lagos to Labour Party, calling for calm from his supporters.
Tinubu noted that the fact that his party narrowly lost to another party does not call for violence, stressing that, his supporters must eschew any act that can lead to breakdown of law and order.
He said the outcome of the election in Lagos where Labour Party won the presidential election should not be a source of provocation saying that the beauty of democracy is that people have a right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
The APC candidate noted that as a democrat he is bound to accept the outcome of any election whether favourable or not.
In a statement released Monday by the 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.
The former Lagos state governor condemned any form of violence against people of any ethnic group in Lagos. “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,” the statement said.
