This is coming after the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi won the Presidential election in Lagos State

Tinubu said the outcome of the election in Lagos should not be a source of provocation as the beauty of democracy is such that allows people the right to vote for the candidate of their choice.

The APC candidate further said that as a democrat, he is bound to accept the outcome of any election whether favourable or not.

In a statement released on Monday by the Presidential Campaign Council signed by Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the APC Presidential candidate 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 adds.

In the meantime, the National Election Collation Center has gone on break.
