President Muhammadu Buhari has lambasted the #iStandWithBuhari Group, warning it severely, after it emerged that the group is planning a 9 million man march.
The presidency has formally dissociated itself from the #iStandWithBuhari organisation, a political group who is planning a 9 million man march to further acquaint Nigerians with the policies of the Buhari government and drum support for the president.
In a press statement issued on Friday by Garba Shehu, SSA to the President on Media & Publicity, it called on the group to stop claiming any alliance with the Buhari administration and that persons behind the group should not associate the president in any of the things it is doing.
The full statement reads: "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."
