The All Progressives Congress has slammed the pro-Jonathan group, GEJites, for holding the President’s re-election campaign at the same spot, where the Bring Back Our Girls’ campaigners have been holding daily protests demanding for the safe return of the over 200 school girls abducted by Boko Haram.
APC described the action of the GEJites as utterly callous and insensitive. The party said this in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.
According to the party, the message being conveyed to all Nigerians is that the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan takes priority over anything else, including the security and welfare of the citizens.
The party said if this was not the case, no responsible group will choose this time, when over 200 school girls have been missing for over 80 days and the terror group, Boko Haram, is daily killing and maiming Nigerians, to launch a misguided re-election campaign for the President.
The statement partly read, “To show their contempt for decency and as if they were intent on inflicting more pain on the parents and guardians of the missing girls, they decided to position their campaign instrument, wheel-mounted electronic billboards, right at the Unity Fountain in Abuja, where committed and patriotic Nigerians have been holding their own daily campaign for the safe return of the girls.”
