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.
