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.

President

Better. The whole 'bring back our girls' campaign was really a fad anyway...just something a lot of people participated in 'world-over' cos it made them feel cool...like they were up to date on what was trending on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteAre You A One Minute Man?
... Hmmm, 'm not gonna say anyfin...
ReplyDeleteOMG what is Goodluck trying to tell us. that we are dumb or what, that the so called group campaigning for him are also faceless like the Boko harams, that even his press men (Ruben & co) don't know about it. He suddenly became aware when International and local people started lambasting him. He should go and hide his shameless face.
ReplyDeleteIdiot
ReplyDeleteStory story...jona keep feigning ignorance

ReplyDeleteThis singular action depicts the calibre & mental state of people who surround you as supporters or whatever Mr President. Your supporters act before they think. What a shame! They are only interested in the crumbles that fall from your dinning table. HUNGRY LIONS AT THE CORRIDOR OF POWER. National interest has remain a language our politicians will NEVER grasp or internalize. May God help us!!!

ReplyDeleteHe should punish the person behind it....sure the person will be a big gun, he should punish them if he is man enough
ReplyDeleteReaction to Washington post editorial?
ReplyDeleteRueben you are a very stupid and useless senseless man. idiot pikin
ReplyDeleteSo, Mr. President would have found it nice to have a tragic hashtag for his campaign if Washington Post hadn't slammed him.Chai! This president is an embarrassment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJonathan is very senseless.Now over a hundred days and He is still talking about rescuing the Chibok girls.Probably He plans to rescue them by the end of this century.Many of those girls are no longer human beings.Many are already dead and half dead.Some have already died having become suicide bombers.Jonathan does not deserve a second term.When his four years expires,He should return to Uniport.
ReplyDeleteDoyin Okupe posted the campaign on his twitter so GEJ should stop trying to deny that his team knew about it.
ReplyDeleteU nor c am before? Acting cos you've been criticised
ReplyDeleteLol, I hail naija my country.. But mr president yu waited too long to react...
ReplyDeleteGEJ,just a joker,who cares if he asks them to bring the banners down?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, I dey laugh this Man called him self number citizen in Nigeria.
ReplyDelete⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ooh, Am happy they didnt blame it on APC..so now this Jonathan can see he is being guided by fools
ReplyDeleteA bit too late. It already made front tweet on *Femi Oke* meaning several peeps across the world have an idea of the Nigerian Govt's attitude towards the kidnapped Chibok Girls = a joke. My heart goes out to these girls and their parents. '(
ReplyDeleteHmmm...Format!
ReplyDeleteBollocks!!! coming from the special adviser on media.He failed to tell the people behind this to stop.
ReplyDeleteGood one GEJ, don't mind the over forward , over zealous, senseless and mindless campaigners.God bless my president
ReplyDeleteGOOD ONE.. I FOR ONE HAS BEEN SO DISTURBED ABOUT THAT AND EACH TIME I DRIVE PAST TRANSCORP BY ZENITH, I FEEL BAD BECAUSE THE 2 GROUPS ARE ON THE SAME SPOT, ONE FOR BRING BACK OUR GIRLS AND THE OTHER FOR BRING BACK GOODLUCK JOHNATHAN.
ReplyDeleteYimu
ReplyDeleteWhere was he when they were posting it b4? A beggi make I hear word.
ReplyDeletePower of media...Okay
ReplyDeleteLet's be Clear No-One can put up banners those big and Strategic in Abuja if they did not have "Presidential" approval. They signed it off and deployed them. So this is already a PR sham,gross level of insensitivity and a show of the Vision-less nature of the GEJ administration. Has anyone Noticed that GEJ is the ONLY presidential candidate campaigning and based on what? The missing girls, The Crime rate, The Insurgency , the Maddening corruption, lack of Infrastructural planning ? what is GEJ campaigning for....? Shameless/Plan-less/Vision-less Twits in high places !!
ReplyDeleteThis GEJ is funny and clueless. He mean to say he just saw the advert yesterday? He should ban whoever put up that sign from campaigning for him. Yeye dey smell!
ReplyDeleteDats nice
