Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has called on Lagosians to remain calm following the victory of the Labour Party in Lagos.
In a statement released Monday by the APC Presidential Campaign Council signed by Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu said the outcome of the election in Lagos should not be a source of provocation, noting that the beauty of democracy is that people have a 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.

Tinubu expressed serious concern over reports of violence in parts of Lagos 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.
