The All Progressives Congress has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to cancel the political rally planned for him by the Adamawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party slated for Tuesday.

In a statement signed by its interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Thursday, the APC said the President cannot and should not be celebrating when over 200 school girls are missing.

The party expressed the hope that the abducted girls will be released unharmed even before Tuesday, April 29 when the rally is expected to hold.

It however said until this happens, it will be insensitive and indecent for anyone, least of all the President who is the father of the nation, to engage in any celebratory outing under any guise.

According to the party, the President must not repeat the faux pas he committed less than 24 hours after 75 of his compatriots were killed in the Nyanya bombing.

He said, All decent men and women were riled that President Jonathan went dancing at an illegal campaign stop in Kano and popping champagne corks at a birthday celebration in Ibadan when the smoke was yet to clear from the scene of the Nyanya bombing.

The President should not repeat the same mistake, if indeed he considered that to be one. He should see the missing girls as his own daughters and stop forthwith his illegal campaign rallies.

The APC said the ongoing bickering over the site of the rally in Adamawa State, close to the scene of the sad abduction of the girls, is distracting from what should be a concerted national effort to find the girls and reunite them safely with their families.

For a President whose groveling aides have likened to Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and other great leaders in a patently blasphemous campaign, he should take time to ask himself how Obama would have reacted to one missing girl from any school in the US, not to talk of over 200 missing girls.

Does President Jonathan honestly believe that Mandela, in his days as President, would have been campaigning when his compatriots are being daily bombed or abducted?
