Nigeria's president has cancelled a meeting with parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls,
accusing activists of playing politics.
The #BringBackOurGirls group should be ashamed of manipulating "the victims of terrorism", he said.
Mr Jonathan had been due to hold his first meeting with some of the girls' parents on Tuesday.
Islamist group Boko Haram captured the more than 200 girls during a raid on their boarding school in
April.
Mr Jonathan had been widely criticised for failing to meet distraught parents and not doing enough to
rescue the girls.
He agreed to the meeting on Monday following an appeal by Pakistani rights campaigner Malala Yousafzai.
The girls have now spent more than three months in captivity
Mr Jonathan says his government is doing everything possible to secure their release
#BringBackOurGirls was a global campaign launched on social media to secure the release of the girls.
Mr Jonathan had planned to meet 12 parents and five girls who escaped shortly after being captured.
"Unfortunately, political forces within the Nigerian chapter of Bring Back Our Girls have decided to take
this opportunity to play politics with the situation and the grief of the parents and the girls. They should
be ashamed of their actions," he said in a statement.
"Those who would manipulate the victims of terrorism for their own benefit are engaging in a similar kind
of evil: Psychological terrorism," he added.
The BBC's Mansur Liman in the capital, Abuja, says parents withdrew from the meeting at the last minute.
No reason has still been given for the apparent snub, he says.

misleading caption,header should read parents cancel meeting with gej

At Op I have already opened a thread for this. why the misleading headline. Is it Jonathan that canceled the meeting, please change your headline.

Sometimes, i forget how good a footballer GEJ actually is. At this pace, he will displace maradona to become the pele of Nigerian Politics.

Good move, that was a trap.

I am not disturbed about who created the topic first, I am bordered about the misleading headline. Since you read the body of the article why don't you collect the misleading headline. Or is it not the same BBC that I copied the same article.
