Ex-President Jonathan Recommended For Nobel Peace Award

Report from Leadership..A public policy organization on African affairs, the Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center (AFRIPOL) has recommended former President Goodluck Jonathan for the Noble Peace Prize award.

The organization made the recommendation based on the 'peaceful way President Jonathan conceded to the current President-Buhari, hence stated that former President Jonathan deserves the attention of Nobel Peace Prize committee.

According to the group '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.
