The Presidency on Thursday said its longstanding suspicion that the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group was a smokescreen for opposition members to ‘unseat’ President Goodluck Jonathan was confirmed on Wednesday with the presence of some of the group’s leaders at the presidential declaration of Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, made the Presidency’s position known via a series of tweets yesterday.
Buhari had at the Eagles Square, Abuja on Wednesday formally declared his intention to contest the 2015 presidential elections on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
But Abati said the roles played by an anti-corruption activist, Dino Melaye, and the presence of one of the co-conveners of #BringBackOurGirls, Hadiza Bala Usman, at the declaration, were enough evidence of their true aim, which is to politicize the abduction of the more than 200 Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram since April.

The Lord has decided who’ll win 2015’s election. Daniel 4:17. I’m happy cos God is on the throne!
Haaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow!
I see the breaking of a new dawn from the realm of the Father in Heaven. Oh Nigerians, be at peace for the Hosts of heaven are at work for the sake of the elect.
I see the breaking of a new dawn from the realm of the Father, I see the breaking of a new dawn from the realm of the father.
God bless Nigeria!
President Jonathan is God’s gifth to Nigeria. The antics of APC can not derail him. Nigerians are intelligent people and their votes will prove this point. Let every one be encouraged to get the veter’s card especially those who do not have the chance to air their views. Make available these voters cards. INEC should stop suffering people by asking them to go and photocopy materiaL which should ordinarily be in their possession,please. Gov. Amaechi and his APC should prove what they want and can do for Nigerians and not to the presidence,please. The world is watching.
Nigerians will reject a thief called jonathan, we are wiser. He has done enough damage. Nigeria is so sick because of his clulessness

Reduce price of petrol and increse it from 65naira to 97naira no job for youth corruption are there the only man who change richs to the poor is jonathan
Jonathan will surely win if it is the will of God. We are the problems of Nigeria; we are all consciously corrupt and we should reshape our mindset and think of what we can do for Nigeria and not the other way round.
