President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election posters for the 2015 presidential election have again flooded Abuja, as pictures of the president were sighted planted in strategic places in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Christmas Day.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), residents woke up and saw the posters on their walls and around their premises.
Unlike the previous posters of the president, which were placed in the high brow areas of Asokoro and Maitama, the ones that hit the capital city on Christmas Day were mostly concentrated on Garki and the the suburbs of Abuja.
One of the posters read: “Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year” and signed by an unknown group called ‘The Nigeria Mandate 2015′.
Reacting to the development, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben
Abati, said the president had not mandated any individual or group to place the posters on his behalf.
Abati pointed out that since the president had not publicly announced his political decision for 2015, it would be improper for him to begin to paste his posters for 2015.
“The president does not know anything about the posters, which are being displayed in the cities,”Abati told NAN.
Jonathan has repeatedly said it is too early in the life of the administration to begin to campaign for re-election in 2015.
He has insisted that it is better for him to concentrate on the provision of service to Nigerians rather than dissipate energy on an election that is still far away.
