Tinubu finally Speaks On Lagos Defeat

 

 

The presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu  says he is bound to accept the outcome  of the just concluded presidential election stating he is a Democrat. He also said Peter Obi’s victory in Lagos state shows the beauty of democracy.

 

Tinubu further said that as a democrat he is bound to accept the outcome of any election whether favorable or not, expressing serious concern over reports of violence in parts of the state especially reported attacks on some traders of Igbo origin condemning 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 oneness.

Obi polled 582,454 votes to trounce the former Lagos State governor who scored 572,606 votes.

Though Tinubu won 11 local government areas in the state Obi won the overall votes in the state, with a landslide victory in nine powerful local governments with numerical strength including Alimosho, Ojo and Oshodi-Isolo, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, amongst others.
