National Chairman/Coordinator of Team Prosper Shehu Bankole-Hameed has warned politicians trying to foment violence due to the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the president-elect to desist.
Bankole-Hameed said the presidential election was free, fair and credible, adding that anyone that was unsatisfied with the outcome should seek redress in court
His words: “February 25, 2023 presidential election was adjudged very free and fair. With all human limitations, it had its errors but the errors did not call for the cancellation of the election nor did it invalidate the election. The election produced a winner in Bola Tinubu. Now, Asiwaju has received his certificate of return.
If anyone feels left out, they have the court to address it, not being on the street or on social media shouting or some pastors saying he is not their president. These are misleading. Pastors should not say things like that because it is unfair to mislead people. We have a President-elect and by the grace of God, he is Bola Tinubu.

Following the controversy that greeted the outcome of the February 25 presidential election, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, APC PCC, yesterday, described the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Labour Party, LP, as sore losers.
This came as the Presidential Campaign Council of the Labour Party said yesterday that the fact that the APC is still shopping for endorsements after claiming victory in the presidential election is evidence that the party is aware Tinubu’s victory was a farce.
This is even as Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation said its rejection of the results of the presidential elections as announced by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, was borne out of patriotism and in the interest of democracy
