Featured, Latest Headlines, News Friday, March 25th, 2016
The Presidency has formally dissociated itself from the trending #Istandwithbuhari advocacy group and demanded the body to immediately stop claiming any alliance with the Buhari’s Administration.
Similarly, office of Mr. President has demanded that the persons behind the controversial and viral #Istandwithbuhari group to stop dropping President Muhammadu Buhari’s name and his wife, Mrs. Aisha, to promote themselves and their activities.
Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari, Garba Shehu in a statement Friday afternoon, declared 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”.
The Presidency indicated 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, 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.
