According to the group " we however call on the Nigerian police force to call the Labour party's gubernatorial Candidate,Mr Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour to order as the statement credited to him on the threat being passed after the announcement of election result is inciting,hateful , childish and barbaric. He must be warned not to stoke embers of discord in the state and behave like a gentleman ,to head to court if he has any reason to challenge the credibility of the election. But for us in COSEG and other peace loving Lagosians,we congratulate Governor on his well deserved victory as he worked for it "
