#BringBackJonathan2015 signs and banners around Abuja which "he and
many Nigerians find offensive and repugnant" be brought down
immediately, a government official has said.
In a State House release by the President's adviser, Reuben Abati, the
President said he agreed with the view that the signs "are a highly
insensitive parody of the #BringBackOurGirls hash tag".
He noted that the signs had been promoted without his knowledge or approval.
The statement further read that: "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."
