President Goodluck Jonathan orders removal of #BringBackGoodluck posters

 

Jonathan has ordered the removal of signs and banners that mimic the social media campaign to release more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls.

Reuben Abati said the head of state shared the view that the #BringBackGoodluck2015 signs, apparently backing his re-election next year, were "offensive and repugnant".

"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 #BringBackOurGirls hashtag," he added.

The #BringBackOurGirls campaign on Twitter, backed by ordinary people and celebrities across the world, forced Nigeria's government to act after Boko Haram snatched the teenagers from the remote northeast town of Chibok in April.

It prompted a series of street protests worldwide and contributed to international help from countries such as the United States, France and Britain to find the girls.
