He also recalled Jonathan’s historic concession in the 2015 presidential election, which led to the first peaceful transition of power to an opposition party in Nigeria’s history—an action that solidified the country’s democratic reputation.
He joined in celebrating this international honour with the former president and expressed gratitude to the Sunhak Peace Prize Committee for recognizing individuals committed to making the world a better place.
The Sunhak Peace Prize is an international award that honours individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to peace, human development, and global harmony.
