President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly imposed ban on his supporters across the country, asking them to suspend forthwith, any campaign or activity geared towards promoting his re-election in 2019.
A statement from the Presidency urged his supporters to respect the campaign guidelines issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for political activities for next year’s election.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, noted “what may be interpreted as political campaigns” by some Buhari supporters and said while the presidency appreciated such enthusiasm, patience was necessary “so that the game can be played according to the rules.”
He said:”The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a timetable for political campaigns, and we urge committed supporters round the country (and beyond) to be mindful of such.
“While a chronicle of the achievements of the administration is in order now, outright canvassing may amount to jumping the gun.
“We are an administration committed to due process and scrupulous respect for rules, law and order.
“We appreciate our massive supporters nationwide, and urge them to exercise restraint till the race commences officially as stipulated by law.”
