UPDATE(JONATHAN ORDERS REMOVAL OF #BRINGBACKJONATHAN2015 SIGN):President Goodluck Jonathan has directed that the #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 BackJonathan 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.”
