President Muhammadu Buhari has distanced himself from the #IStandWithBuhari group, an organisation which was planning a million-man march in support of the president.
The official Twitter handle of the President, @NGRPresident in a series of tweets on Friday distanced the President from the group.
In the tweets, the President warned the group to discontinue the use of his name and that of the first lady, Aisha Buhari henceforth from its activities.
The #IStandWithBuhari Group should stop dropping the name of the President's wife, @aishambuhari, to promote its activities.

President @MBuhari 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.
