Goodluck Jonathan for Nobel Peace Prize.

Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan has been recommended for the
Nobel Peace Prize by a public policy organisation on African affairs, the Africa
Political & Economic Strategic Center (AFRIPOL).

The organisation noted that the will of Alfred Nobel, the progenitor of Nobel
Prize stated that Peace Prize be awarded to whoever “shall have done the most
or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of
standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
Accordingly the organisation held that the ‘peaceful way President Jonathan
conceded to President-elect Buhari deserves the attention of Nobel Peace Prize
committee. He may have not promoted “fraternity between nations” but he
surely promotes fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power.’
The group maintained that the “concession speech by President Jonathan
averted bloodshed, violence and imbroglio in the most populous country in
Africa. This gesture by Jonathan [sic] 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.”
