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.
Reuben Abati
Special Adviser to the President
