Multi-talented RnB sensation,
Banky W, has aired his opinion on the recent advert slogan in the President
Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election poster, which was done by a group. Abuja
has been flooded with the ‘#Bring Back Jonathan
2015’ posters and billboards lately.
The singer fumed at the
choice of the slogan for the campaign and described it as “shameful.”
The BringBackJonathanin2015
is a parody of the BringBackOurGirls campaign launched after Boko Haram members
kidnapped some secondary schoolgirls in Borno and are yet to be released by the
group despite worldwide outcry.
An angry Banky W wrote
online, “freedom to post whatever he like and I agree it’s
shameful.”
Many others have also slammed
the slogan and called it insensitive.
But the Presidency has
ordered the removal of the billboards and posters from the street. The
Presidency, through its spokesman, Reuben Abati, said, “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,”
