Nigeria Election: “As A Democrat, You Win Some, You Lose Some” – Tinubu Speaks On Losing Lagos

VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

THE presidential candidate of the Progressives Congress (APC) , Bola Tinubu, has urged Lagos residents to avoid any act of violence as the results of the presidential election trickle in.

VOICE AIR MEDIA recalls that Peter Obi, candidate of the Labour Party (LP), was declared winner of Lagos State.

Obi polled 582,664, while Tinubu scored 541,850.

There were also reports that some Igbo residents were attacked in some parts of Lagos State on Monday.

However, in a statement released hours after Obi was announced winner, Tinubu asked that the outcome of the election should not be a source of provocation.

“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 added.
