Goodluck Jonathan Appreciation Day: June 28, 2014 Global Tele-conference |
NEW YORK, NY - Diaspora Nigerians in America are dedicating Saturday, June 28, 2014 for a massive "GOODLUCK JONATHAN APPRECIATION DAY" in solidarity for Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan. |
Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has been severely criticized in the international media for his handling of the 276 schoolgirls who were abducted by the al-Qaeda linked Boko Haram without understanding the underlying political forces behind Boko Haram's actions. Diaspora Nigerians from all over the world are just as equally anxious for the return of the girls as the world community. Making this known today in New York, the Chairman of the Diaspora Nigerians in America, Dr. Chika Onyeani, said that when you read or hear the commentators on the international media, they make it appear that Jonathan has not done anything at all in moving massive resources to rescue the abducted girls. He said on the other hand, they believe that Jonathan has been listening to sound advice. Despite Nigeria's image as the most powerful power in Africa, President Jonathan was humble enough to accept the offer of assistance from many countries in the world. Diaspora Nigerians in America had advised that he should seek out the services of the Israeli MOSSAD to come in and train the elite force of Nigerians. When Israel offered to help in locating the abducted schoolgirls, Jonathan accepted their offer immediately. Onyeani said "we don't want the President to feel that he doesn't have supporters from the Diaspora, which is a total lie. I believe if you were to poll the over 1.8 million Nigerians in America, more than 65% will tell you they support Jonathan." Therefore, Saturday June 28, 2014 is being dedicated as "GOODLUCK JONATHAN APPRECIATION DAY" for Diaspora Nigerians around the world to come together to say to Jonathan, "We know your administration is yet to succeed in bringing back the schoolgirls, but we believe that you are using your best judgment and resources to ensure that our girls are returned unharmed to their respective families. At the same time, Diaspora Nigerians in America wishes to assure President Jonathan that they are solidly behind him and want him to know that he has a lot of friends and supporters in the Diaspora here in America. They are not going to allow the exploitation of human tragedies and the political machinations of the President's opponents, in their attempt to wrestle power from him, to undermine the integrity of the Nigerian presidency and the collective intelligence of the people. Dr. Onyeani disclosed that the "GOODLUCK JONATHAN APPRECIATION DAY" will be achieved through a world-wide and the massive teleconference that will bring hundreds of thousands of Nigerians to rally and show the world that President Goodluck Jonathan has the support of Nigerians in the Diaspora who believe that the international media is presenting a one-sided story. There will also be a gathering that day in Manhattan, New York, the venue and time of which will be announced later where supporters rather than just demonstrating, will be asked to contribute to the welfare of the schoolgirls when they are returned to their parents.
