The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has enjoined the residents of Lagos State to shun any act of violence following his loss to the presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, in Saturday’s presidential election in the state.
Tinubu, who said this via a statement issued on Monday by the Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, noted that the result of the 2023 presidential election should not be a source of violence in Lagos State.
“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 former governor of Lagos State said.
The Star had reported that Obi polled 582,454 votes to defeat Tinubu in Lagos State as the APC presidential candidate got 572,606 votes.
Tinubu won in 11 local governments while Obi led in nine, but the LP candidate came top in the presidential election.
The presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, came a distant third with 75,750 votes.
