Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, has urged Lagos State residents to be calm and refrain from any actions that would destabilise peace and order.
According to Tinubu, the beauty of democracy is that people have the right to vote for the candidate of their choice, and the results of the election in Lagos, where the Labour Party won the presidential election, shouldn’t be a cause for agitation. He asserted that as a democrat, he is obligated to accept the results of all elections, favourable or unfavourable.

Tinubu expressed grave worry over allegations of violence in several areas of the state, particularly alleged attacks on some businessmen of Igbo ancestry, in a statement issued on Monday by the Presidential Campaign Council and signed by Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Any type of violence against members of any ethnic community in Lagos was denounced by the previous governor of Lagos State.
The statements read: “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.”
