Sequel to the controversy generated by the #BringbackGoodluck2015, Presidential spokesman, Dr Doyin Okupe, \u00a0fingered by the media as one of the promoters of the hashtag, has dismissed the claim as ludicrous.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A Nigeria based blog had named Okupe as one of the promoters of the hashtag<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

President Goodluck Jonathan \u00a0on Wednesday \u00a0ordered the removal of banners and billboards bearing messages containing the hashtag adapted from the hugely popular #BringBackOurGirls campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

According to a statement from his office, \u201cThe Goodluck Initiative For Transformation (GIFT) one of the Support Groups campaigning for the re-election of Jonathan has been on the hashtag for a longtime as well. GIFT are the owners of this hashtag and therefore there is no way Dr okupe can be tagged a promoter\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The statement said further \u201cOther Twitter users also used the hashtag even before him like @Rally4Gej on 14th May, 2014 and several others. It will also be very wrong to say that \u00a0Dr Okupe championed a campaign because he tweeted in response to several other tweets from lovers of President Jonathan. None of Dr \u00a0Okupe\u2019s tweet even suggests that it was meant to ridicule or mock the BringBackourGirls \u00a0BBOG Campaigners as is now been inputed. And he did not continue tweeting. It was a brief tweet session.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The statement added \u201cGIFT are the owners of this hashtag and one begin to wonder why \u00a0Dr Okupe will be used as a Convener of the Campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0Dr Okupe might have used the hashtag but he did not originate it nor is he the one trending it. GIFT are the ones erecting billboards all over Abuja and not Okupe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Office of Dr. Okupe has also corroborated this fact as can be verified on his official Facebook Page and website\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
