PRESIDENT Mohammadu Buhari has disclaimed himself from the
activities of an advocacy group, #Istandwithbuhari and cautioned against the
continued operation of the group with claimed link to his government, wife or
any member of his family stating that he did not know what the group stands
for.
This disclaimer was contained in a statement through the
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu,
the President categorically disclaimed the group and directed that those behind
it should stop immediately from linking him to its existence and operations.
“Among other reasons, we have found it necessary to distance
the Presidency from the #IstandwithBuhari group because it is 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”,
the statement read.
