Former Pres. Goodluck Jonathan gets recommended for Nobel Peace Award
A public policy organisation on African affairs, the
Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center
(AFRIPOL) has recommended former President
Goodluck Jonathan for the Noble Peace Prize award.
The organisation made the recommendation based
on the 'peaceful way President Jonathan conceded
to the current President -Buhari, hence stated
that former Pres Jonathan deserves the attention of
Nobel Peace Prize committee.
The group stated:
'He may have not promoted "fraternity
between nations" but he surely promotes
fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding
power.'
"concession speech by President Jonathan
averted bloodshed, violence and imbroglio in
the most populous country in Africa. This
gesture by Jonathan buttressed to the whole
world that Nigeria has joined the comity of
civilized nations.
Nigeria can be said to have shown great
leadership in Africa and made Africans in
general and Nigerians in particular to
comprehend that transfer of power does not
need to be violent but rather peaceful as
heralded by the outgoing president of Nigeria,
Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan."
