Tinubu, who ruled Lagos State for eight years, said the outcome of the election in Lagos where the Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi won should not cause outrage among residents in the state.
Obi, a former Anambra State governor, shocked political observers when he polled more votes than Tinubu in 20 local governments in Lagos.
Tinubu polled 572,606 behind Obi who had 582,354. Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) garnered 75,750 votes, while Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Adewole Adebayo of Social Democratic Party (SDP) had 8,442 and 772 respectively.
