A support group that worked for the actualisation of President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 polls, Team Prosper, yesterday, distanced itself from a rally that would be held to kick against the appointments and decisions of the President.

The group, in a statement by its National Coordinator, Mr Shehu Bankole-Hameed, said it would not be a partaker, adding that its committee of national coordinators frowns at any group that has decided to carry on with the protest.

Bankole-Hameed said: “Our attention has been drawn to this supposed rally to protest appointments and decisions of our President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in continuation of the Renewed Hope agenda. The committee of national coordinators has decided that Team Prosper will not be part of this misadventure.

“The task of nation building is an ongoing process which requires diligence and steady hands. We note the cacophonous sounds of discord being served by the opposition and determination to cause chaos in the land. Putting undue pressure by way of public protests and rallies isn’t the best way forward.

“We will continue to dialogue with the President and his team. Our fathers of this Team have constant access to the top members of this administration and are working to ensure our inclusion at the appropriate time. Thanks for your understanding, patience and support.”
