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."
