Bola Tinubu Declares, "As a Democrat, I'm Compelled to Accept Election Results" as Peter Obi Wins Lagos State.

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

Obi defeated the former governor of Lagos State, who received 572,606 votes, with a vote total of 582,454.

As a Democrat, Tinubu said he must accept the results of the just finished election in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, director of media and publicity for the APC Presidential Campaign Council. He asserts that Peter Obi's triumph in the state exemplifies the virtues of democracy.

The former governor of Lagos State urged his supporters to remain peace and quiet, saying Obi's victory in Lagos shouldn't be a cause for unrest.

The statement read, "As a democrat he is required to accept the outcome of any election, whether favorable or not."

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

"Violence should not occur because the APC barely lost Lagos State to another party. Democrats experience both wins and losses. While upholding calm and decorum, we must let the process proceed unimpeded throughout the nation, the statement stated.

 By Michaels Monday Lewis Hamilton claims he is "at a bit of a lost" with this year's Mercedes racecar. At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the seven-time champion qualified eighth fastest, trailing teammate George Russell by four positions and 0.366 seconds. George did a fantastic job, according to Hamilton, who is sitting in the second row. It is clear that the car is capable. "I just don't feel like this car belongs to me. I've tried everything, but I just can't become comfortable with it. I'm at a bit of a loss." Hamilton acknowledged that his poor performance was "largely me" and that he was having trouble with the Jeddah street circuit's fast turns. "And if you don't have that vehicle underneath you, you'll never be able to push it hard around the turns in sector one of the Jeddah lap.
