PRESIDENCY DISSOCIATES ITSELF FROM # ISTANDWITHBUHARI GROUP

PRESIDENCY DISSOCIATES ITSELF FROM # ISTANDWITHBUHARI
GROUP
The Presidency formally dissociates itself from the #Istandwithbuhari
advocacy group and demands that the group should immediately stop
claiming any alliance with the Buhari Administration.
The Presidency also demands that the persons behind the
controversial #Istandwithbuhari group should stop using President
Muhammadu Buhari's name and that of his wife, Mrs. Aisha
Muhammadu Buhari to promote themselves and their activities.
Among other reasons, we have found it necessary to distance the
Presidency from the #Istandwithbuhari group because its premature
and ostentatious celebration of the present administration's
achievements is totally inconsistent with President Buhari's
philosophy of service with humility.
While the present administration has indeed recorded significant
successes in its priority areas of improving security across the nation,
ending the Boko Haram insurgency, curbing official corruption and
revamping Nigeria's economy, President Buhari is well aware that his
government still has a lot of national challenges to overcome.
The President prefers to give his fullest attention to addressing those
challenges without the unsolicited and unwelcome distraction of
untimely praise-singing from groups with dubious and questionable
motives.
