PRESIDENCY DISSOCIATES SELF FROM #ISTANDWITHBUHARI GROUP

The presidency says it is not backing #iStandWithBuhari, a political group planning a 9 million man march to declare support for the policies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group is facing credibility issues following the resignation of two of its National Coordinators within one month.

In a series of tweet on Friday by @NGRPresident, official twitter handle of the president, the presidency said “President Muhammadu Buhari does not believe in premature and ostentatious celebration of his government’s successes.

“The government believes it is too early to be celebrating; it will legitimately do so when the time is ripe.”

The presidency also warned the #iStandWithBuhari group to stop using the name of the President’s wife, Aisha, to promote its activities.
