President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday directed the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation and other bodies that campaigned for his re-election to start removing the posters, billboards, banners, signs and other campaign materials they erected nationwide.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the President said with the 2015 general elections over, it was appropriate that steps be taken to restore the environment in Nigerian cities, towns and villages to their pre-elections campaign state.
Jonathan urged Nigerians to put the recent political campaigns behind them and join hands with the incoming administration in working for a more united, peaceful, stable and progressive nation.
The statement read, “With the 2015 presidential elections now concluded and the country preparing for the inauguration of a new administration on May 29, President Goodluck Jonathan believes that it is appropriate that steps be taken to restore the environment in Nigerian cities, towns and villages to their pre-elections campaign state.
“Accordingly, President Jonathan directs that the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation and the various associations that coalesced into the Jonathan/Sambo Support Group immediately begin the process of removing the posters, billboards, banners, signs and other campaign materials in support of his re-election bid which still adorn the landscape in major cities across the country.
“The President thanks all individuals and organisations who made sincere contributions and worked with immense dedication for the Jonathan/ Sambo Campaign.
“He applauds his supporters and other Nigerians for the disciplined, patriotic and democratic manner in which they comported themselves before, during and after the elections.
“Now that the elections are over except for re-runs in a few states, President Jonathan urges Nigerians to put the recent political campaigns behind them and join hands with the incoming administration in working for a more united, peaceful, stable and progressive nation.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

What of Buhari posters? Even before now, I told those responsible in my office to start removing all GEJ's pictures and replace them with GMB's. Thank God for May 29, we are waiting HAPPILY to welcome the people's General as he cleans up the mess perpetrated by the GEJ's govt. I keep wondering if GEJ had won the last election. A lot of NON-SENSE would have been happening.
ReplyDelete1. Mama Piss (Shepopotamus) would have been disturbing us with her stupid grammar.
2. Jonathanians, despite the defeat, have been covering my ears with a so called peace award given to him by the US and EU. It would have been worse if GEJ had won. Maybe they will tell us he is now the President of the world.
3. No more impunity.
4. The likes of Gov Amaechi can walk about freely without any IDIOT (Mbu) trying to molest him.
5. No body will be talking of returning part of the 2trillion naira stolen for campaign
6. Deziani wouldn't be talking of returning stolen NNPC money
7. Infact more money would have been stolen
8. FFK, Okukpe and Abati would have been running OBJ down
9. There wouldn't have been hope for APC guber candidate in Rivers. As it stands, PDP's Wike will be kicked out because there was no election in Rivers State.
10. Most of us that supported GEJ in 2011 and didn't now would have not been happy.
When I think of ALL THESE THINGS, I AM HAPPIER THAN GMB. Once more, I say, Thank God for May 29. O.J
not to worry!!! I have torn the one on the walls of my fence the very day you lost... My gateman was warned not to remove it by Wike's boys.. I did not want Wike's boys to matchet my gateman so I let it be... I got the boldness to remove them and the ones on my electric poles the very day you lost.... I got the last laugh!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuh #bringbackourgirls
