Former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan
has been awarded the African Sun Times’
International Person of the Year 2015. The
organizers of the award said Jonathan was
picked for his role in ensuring a peaceful
transition in Nigeria.
"The award was given to Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan who shocked the whole world by
swiftly calling current Nigerian President
Muhammadu Buhari and conceding his
defeat in the March 29 Nigerian presidential
election, thereby stopping the predictions of
violent bloodshed in Nigeria, and keeping
his words that he would not allow the
blood of a Nigerian to be shed to further
his political ambitions.
President Jonathan must be applauded for
creating a solid foundation for the growth
of democracy in Africa. The world has
started to recognize President Jonathan’s
courageous act.”
