Former President Goodluck Jonathan has dedicated The African Sun Times’s International Persons of the Year awards to Nigerians.
“I thank The African Sun Times for naming me as its International Person of the year, 2015. I am indeed humbled by this honour. When I think about it, I understand why this medium may have thought me worthy of such an honour. However, I believe that my people, the Nigerian people, are more deserving of this honour.
We, the Nigerian people put to shame naysayers and prophets of doom and in 2015, we held a most transparent, violence free and credible elections that transferred power from one political party to another and from an incumbent to the opposition, without rancour, bitterness or strife. In the process, we proved that nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian or any national of any country for that matter. That to me, is a most worthy testimonial of the character of the Nigerian nation and the resilience of our people which is why I dedicate this honour to them. May God continue to bless Nigeria and Nigerians. GEJ,” he posted on his verified Facebook account.
The African Sun Times, Africa’s number one and largest newspaper in America, on Monday announced Jonathan as its International Persons of the Year.
“Dr. 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,” the newspaper wrote. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteIn built hatred even in the face of glaring global recognition, good to know Nigerianeye and the lot are witnesses to the out pour of love from the international community. No literature nor propaganda so dark can shield a star determined to shine. A word is enough for the wise!
ReplyDeleteU, ur father and ur entire generation of generations in ur family will never and can never get such recognition and award. Fools.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in this country that people fight the dead. If not, I don't know the reason for this abuse on him. After all, he is not contesting with you, even as a sittung president, you abused him, called all sorts of unprintable names, yet he did not reply a word. He conducted elections and lost, he humbly handed over. What else do you want from him? Please, let him be, for God's sake.
ReplyDeleteStop this abuse, haba!
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians

ReplyDeleteHello, GEJ, We love you. Congrats. Do not mind some of the myopic statements by some disgruntle Nigerians
ReplyDeleteCongrats to GEJ. In a way, I sometimes feel that the major reason God allowed you to be President was to deepen democracy in Nigeria and probably Africa and more importantly to avoid bloodshed. You have served your purpose and history will remember you for it despite your deficiencies as President, it is clear that you have a good heart. God bless you and congrats again!
ReplyDeleteCauses and insult will do him no harm, he's where God said he should be, what about you ? Is your life better?
