Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has implored the people of Lagos State to eschew violence that can lead to the brerch of public peace.

 

The former Lagos State Governor, Tinubu, said the outcome of the election in Lagos where the Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi won should not result in uproar among residents in the state.

 

Obi, a former Anambra State governor, stunned political observers with his amazing victory in the stronghold of APC when he polled more votes than Tinubu in 20 local governments in Lagos.

 

Tinubu polled 572,606 behind Obi who had 582,354. Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party garnered 75,750 votes, while Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Adewole Adebayo of Social Democratic Party had 8,442 and 772 respectively.

 

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.

 

In his reaction, the APC candidate noted that the beauty of democracy is that people have a right to vote for the candidate of their choice.

 

Tinubu in a statement by APC presidential campaign spokesman Bayo Onanuga, noted that as a democrat he would accept the outcome of any election if it favours him or not.

 

“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.”

 

He then expressed worries over reports of violence in parts of the state.
