President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has directed that the #Bring Back Jonathan 2015 signs and banners around Abuja which he and many Nigerians find offensive and repugnant be brought down immediately.
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.
