The
Presidency in a statement on Wednesday said 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.
Reuben
Abati, the President's spokesman said, '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 #BringBackOurGirls hash tag.
'While
President Jonathan appreciates the enthusiastic show of support for his
administration by a broad range of stakeholders, he condemns the #BringBackJonathan2015
signs which appear to make light of the very serious national and global
concern for the abducted Chibok girls.'
The statement further said,
'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.'
