Former Nigeria's president Goodluck recommended for Noble Peace Award

 

Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center (AFRIPOL) a public policy organisation on African affairs has recommended Nigeria’s former President Goodluck Jonathan for the Noble Peace Prize award. The organisation stated that the recommendation was made based on the 'peaceful way President Jonathan conceded to the current Nigeria President Buhari, hence the former Pres Jonathan deserves the attention of Nobel Peace Prize committee.

 'He may have not promoted “fraternity between nations," but he surely promotes fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power.' Stated the group

 According to Leadership NG the group says that; 

"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."
