Jonathan’s campaign strategy mocks Chibok girls’ parents.

The#BringBackOur Girls (BBOG) protesters have said President Goodluck Jonathan’s new campaign slogan, #BringBackGoodluck2015, does not only show his inhumanity, but also mocks the grieving Chibok girls’ parents.

They said it was unfair for the President to mock the parents “because he does not know what will happen to him tomorrow.”

The protesters said government tried to stop their advocacy through intimidation, “which will not work because we shall stand firm until the schoolgirls, who were abducted 146 days ago at the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok are rescued.”

The group’s leader, Aisha Yusufu, spoke yesterday in Abuja during a protest.

She said although the nation was at ‘war’ with the Boko Haram insurgents in the Northeast, the President did not deem it fit to address the citizens over the ‘war’.

Her words: “I think their plan is to mock us, to mock the campaign. But the only thing they have succeeded in doing is to show their inhumanity. They don’t have a sense of empathy.

“This is a campaign for people in pains. No matter how highly-placed, how important somebody is, you are not above God. Anything can happen to you. We don’t know what can happen tomorrow. Those who are laughing at somebody grieving today do not know what will be their portion tomorrow. Only God knows tomorrow. This is why you should never mock another person.

“We were supposed to meet at the Unity Fountain, but we changed our venue at the last minute for security reason.

“This intimidation will not stop us. We will not give up. We will not stop until the girls are rescued.”
