Yesterday, ex-President Jonathan added to his international honours since leaving office, as he was honoured by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), in Atlanta, Georgia.
He was awarded with the Presidential Award in recognition of his leadership in advancing human rights, social justice and the fight for universal freedom.
The SCLC, founded by the late American Civil Right leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, in January 1957 is currently led by Dr. Charles Steele Jr.
The event is part of the activities leading up to the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day on Monday, January 18th, 2016.
Former President Jonathan is the first African leader to be so honored.
Jonathan also received Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s sister, Naomi King during the event.
Before his remarks at the event, Dr. Jonathan met privately with the president of the SCLC.
The president of the SCLC, Dr. Charles Steele Jr proposed to work with the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation to advance the cause of peace around the world and to bridge the gap between people of color in the Diaspora and Africa.

ReplyDeleteThe rejected stone has become the head Conner stone, a king has no value in his own country. Oga Jona carry go because you sacrifice presidency power for every Nigerians' no do or die affairs like other countries. God bless you and your family, you have done your best for Nigeria no matter how they want to rubbish your government and your party. the opposition should know that one party system can never rule Nigeria and will never therefore, some of us understand their tactics to convince Nigerians' that they are the best party without spot but that's not true, you will see that if they probe OBJ and Tinubu even more of their party members then Nigerians' will know that nothing different from Akamu and its water.
ReplyDeleteMore to come to a worthy statesman. Congratulations sir. Every noble Nigerian appreciates your integrity in keeping your word that no political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. You have preserved Nigeria in peace by your accepting defeat at the polls, what no incumbent African leader has ever done. God bless you and your family. Power belongs to God, and He gives it to whom He wills. We believe it is His will to allow another take over the reins of power in the country now. This you humbly acknowledged. Again, God bless you sir, for giving us and our children with generations yet unborn a peaceful nation to live in. May your days and those of your family be multiplied in peace. Grace be with you.
