has expressed gratitude for yet another recognition.

He said:

Quote

“I believe that my people, the Nigerian people, are more deserving of this honour.”

Goodluck Jonthan, in a statement published on his official Facebook page on Monday, January 4, expressed gratitude to Africa’s number one and largest newspaper in the USA and noted that he understands why this medium might have thought him worthy of such an honour.

Quote

“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,”

the statement read.
 
A few days ago, one of Nigeria’s online newspapers, The Trent also named Goodluck Jonathan the Person of the Year 2015.
While receiving the award, the former president said that he felt deeply touched by the kind gesture and honour coming months after he left office.

Toothless barking Dog. You have
ended up being exposed and
saying nothing tangible to defend
the Adeleke's claim. They have
evidence. Abi medical report go lie
again? Na the car wey dem no give your cousin abi na niece dey
pepper you. Let me ask you Dele -
what are you doing to make your
cousin/Niece a better person?
Send her back to school or get her
a job lets see if her sec sch papers will get her a job that will
pay her 300k per month. You
should even be upset and ashame
that your cousin abi na niece did
child abuse rather than pride
yourself in this shameful act. You people should stop wasting my MB
jare Dele my question is this, the
medical report released by Davido
about cannabis in Imade's system,
is it real or fake? If it's real, then
you have no case. But if it's not
true, then u can pursue the case. Meanwhile, am tired of reading this
Davido's baby mama drama. When
the going was good, no one invited
me, now Dem do carry their matter
come public domain. Am outta
here
