After his defeat to Peter Obi in the state's presidential election, Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, has urged Lagosians to refrain from any acts of violence.
The Labour Party's (LP) candidate Obi has been proclaimed the victor in Lagos, a state that has historically been Tinubu's bastion.
Hours after Obi was declared the winner, Tinubu stated in a statement that the election's outcome shouldn't be a cause for agitation.
“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 said.
