Presidential Election: What Bola Tinubu said after losing Lagos state to Peter Obi

Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president, responded to his party's loss of Lagos state to the Labour Party's Peter Obi in the presidential election held on February 25 last Saturday.

The former governor of Lagos State received 572,606 votes, far behind Obi's 582,454 total.

In a statement issued by the director of media and publicity for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu claimed that as a Democrat, he was obligated to accept the results of the recently concluded election. He claims that Peter Obi's victory in the state is evidence of the virtues of democracy.

Obi's victory in Lagos shouldn't be a cause for agitation, the former governor of Lagos state urged his supporters, as he issued a calm and peaceful warning.

Following Obi's victory in the state's election, Tinubu denounced the reported attacks on some traders of Igbo descent.
