Former President Goodluck Jonathan has entered the recognized ‘Symbol of Peace’ award as part of the initial edition of the ‘100 utmost Notable Peace Icons in Africa’ recognition.
The award was presented to him by the design platoon behind the’ 100 utmost Notable Peace Icons in Africa’ action during a form held at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation in Abuja.
Ambassador Kingsley Amafibe, the Project Director for Africa, explained that the award was a homage to Jonathan’s unvarying fidelity to conserving Nigeria’s peace and concinnity, indeed in the face of prognostications of implicit decomposition.
The’ 100 utmost Notable Peace Icons in Africa’ consists of individualities who have exercised their bents, positions, and coffers to foster and advance peace across the African mainland. Among this distinguished group, Jonathan surfaced as the’ Symbol of Peace’ for the entire mainland.
Amafibe emphasized that the decision to recognize Jonathan in this prestigious manner followed expansive consultations conducted across Africa by the design platoon.
Goodluck Jonathan is honored as a symbol of peace, a champion of public immolation, and an exemplar of genuine leadership, serving as a part model for youthful people not only in Nigeria but throughout Africa.
His major decision to accept the outgrowth of the 2015 Presidential election, in line with his protestation that his political intentions weren’t worth the blood of any Nigerian, was a remarkable act of nationalism.
This choice assured a peaceful transition from one civil government to another, eventually securing Nigeria and the entire mainland from the brewing chaos and prognostications of Nigeria’s fragmentation.
