Jonathan Orders Removal Of #BringBackJonathan Campaign Posters Posted All Around Abuja
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has directed that
the #Bring Back Jonathan 2015 signs and banners
conspicuously displayed at the Unity Fountain, the
trade mark venue of #BringBackOurGirl's periodic
protest in Abuja be brought down with immediate
effect.
The President, through a statement by his Senior
Special Assistant on Media, Reuben Abati said he
and many Nigerians found the banners very
offensive and repugnant, a reason he said they
should be brought down.
Abati's statement read, "President Jonathan wholly
shares the widely expressed view that the signs
which were put up without his knowledge or
approval are a highly insensitive parody of the
#Bring Back Our Girls hash tag.
"While President Jonathan appreciates the
enthusiastic show of support for his administration
by a broad range of stakeholders, he condemns the
#Bring Back Jonathan 2015 signs which appear to
make light of the very serious national and global
concern for the abducted Chibok girls.
"The President assures all Nigerians and the
international community that his administration
remains fully engaged with efforts to rescue the
abducted girls and that he will not knowingly
promote any actions that will fly in the face of the
seriousness of their plight and the anguish of their
families.
Some obsequious supporters of President Jonathan
has been jostling for space at the Unity Fountain
where the #BringBackOustrGirls group usually state
its peaceful protst, as they deliberately flooded the
protest arena with Jonathan's campaign posters.
