President Jonathan Orders Stoppage Of #bringbackgoodluck2015# Campaign On The Heels Of Damning Backlash Home & Abroad!

President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the stoppage of his re election campaign widely labelled offensive.

The president campaigners had hit town  with a rip off of the campaign for rescue of over 200 kidnapped chibok girls to return him to office.

The chibok girls rescue campaigners employed massively embraced ash tag #bringbackourgirls#.

Mr Jonathan's re election votes canvassers employed the ash tag #bringbackgoodluck2015#.

The development now traced to presidential spokes person Mr Doyin Okupe as chief promoter sparked off widespread condemnation home and abroad.
 

Powerful foreign publication, The Washington Post particularly did a scathing report on the absurdity of the whole insensitive idea.

Faced with growing condemnation the President issued this a statement withdrawing the campaign and distancing himself, about a week after it all started!  Here is the presidential statement reproduced. '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.'
