The All Progressives Congress today commended President Jonathan for making a mockery of Nigeria and waiting for international condemnation before calling for removal of #BringBackJonathan billboard.
It further described the billboard “a mockery of the #BringBackOurGirls hash tag that has helped to call global attention to the fate of the over 200 girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, who were abducted by Boko Haram militants five months ago and have remained in captivity.

In a statement on Wednesday by APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party, however, said the President made a mockery of his administration and his country by waiting for an international condemnation of what it called “the shameless and brazen usurpation of the #BringBackOurGirls hash tag” before issuing the directive to stop it.
APC said, ”Had the US newspaper, Washington Post, not written a stinging editorial, skewing the Jonathan administration for appropriating the BringBackOurGirls hash tag for his re-election, the administration would have continued its brazenness without regards to the feelings of the parents of the girls or indeed the Nigerian people.
”Again, the administration has waited for a global opprobrium before doing what is right. Recall that it took an international media campaign before the Jonathan administration acknowledged, after all of 19 days, that the Chibok girls were missing in the first instance.
“Recall also that it took a 17-year-old, Yousafzai Malala, to make the President realise that he should meet with the parents of the girls, even if he eventually insulted the grieving parents by inviting them to Abuja instead of going to visit them in their abode? It is important that we don’t make a mockery of our own people, so that we don’t become an object of international mockery.”
APC said belated as the President’s directive on #BringBackJonathan hash tag was, it was a good first step that must be quickly followed by another directive, ordering the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria to immediately stop its rallies.
The party believed the TAN rallies had offended the sensibilities and intelligence of Nigerians.
APC said, “The noisy and sycophantic rallies being held across the nation, ostensibly to collect signatures from Nigerians urging Jonathan to seek re-election, contrast with the challenges currently facing the nation, which is being dismembered, town by town, by the terrorist group, Boko Haram.
HABA APC & Mallam LIE Mohammed. Since the hash tag no bring back una girls maybe ego bring back OUR JONA.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FOOL
DeleteEl wa foolish, you are such a cruel and heartless fellow, if u don't have anything to contribute, why don't u keep your dirty mouth shut, anyways if the girls were your relatives it wouldn't have bothered you, you probably would have been considering using one or two of them for rituals. Idiot
DeletePlease have mercy on Mr. President. Their people has no culture and the man no get good home upbringing. He will later mess up those sychophats up
ReplyDeleteApc should stop playing politics of insult and blackmail. madam oby should test her luck to contest for a state legislator to check her acceptance.
ReplyDeleteAll those supporting Gej including TAN are the worst enemy of the man, unfortunately the man has been deceived to believing that majority of Nigeria wants him back, but wait is it not by election that he can come back.
ReplyDeleteOk, why counting the vote before election, abi what type of coup are we introducing to the world?
They did it for Abacha, now they are doing it for Gej, remember there is God o!
For me I am doing well, I can decide to go to where I have naturalised, accepted and respected but I pity millions of naija delta that cannot have opportunity like me, yet they are supporting and making noise that it is our turn. It is a one man show. Since Gej got their what economic benefit has actually affected the common man in the street?
My guys shine your eyes and cotton bud your ears.
If it takes a Yoruba man to bring one of our own, how then you can't believe that some body from Ibo, Hausa or another Yoruba can equally develop naija delta.
Ladies and gentle men THINK.
This is a very reasonable response from a progressive. I don't know why many are so blind to see this point.
Deletewhich dirty progressive??? continue deceiving yourselves. There are no progressives in our political system so stop being deceived.
