Buhari's Administration Disassociates Self From #Istandwithbuhari' Group:

A statement released by the presidency under the administration of Muhammadu Buhari has informed the Nigerian public of its disassociation from the #Istandwithbuhari advocacy group.
The statement also ordered the group to desist from its claims of having any alliance with president Buhari's administration with immediate effect.
Below is the statement released by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu on Friday, on behalf of the presidency:

“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,” the statement said.
