The Presidency has advised supporters of President Muhamamadu Buhari round the country to exercise restraint in their open political campaign ahead of the 2019 election in order not to violate the electoral laws of the land.

Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina who gave the advice in a statement on Saturday, appealed to Buhari supporters to be mindful of the fact that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a timetable for political campaigns.

“There will be ample time ahead to trumpet the good works of the Buhari administration, and solicit re-election, all for the good of our country and her people,” he assured.

According to the statement, “it has been observed that some fervent supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari have begun what may be interpreted as political campaigns in their advocacies and advertisements in the mass media.

“We appreciate their enthusiasm, borne out of desire to garner support for an administration that is actuated by nothing else, other than service for motherland, but we hereby appeal for patience, so that the game can be played according to the rules.

“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.”
