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.

Special Adviser to the President
