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.

the athlete is guilty of premeditated murder or murder. Masipa adjourned the
court just before 1.30pm and is expected to give her full verdict tomorrow.
Pistorius could face up to 15 years in jail if he is convicted for culpable
