What Jonathan Told US Presidential Precinct Board by iyyke(m): 6:33pm On Nov 10, 2015
Jonathan who arrived the institute accompanied by a
delegation from the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, also
advocated the readiness of Nigeria and Africa for the
sustenance of democratic principles, peace and people-
oriented governance.
He was received by Francois Baird, Chairman of the
Presidential Precinct Board. The Presidential Precinct, a
foremost global institution designed to empower the next
generation of leaders, is currently hosting Jonathan for his
role in Nigeria’s smooth democratic transition, especially with
the seamless handover of power from the ruling party to the
opposition.
At the Presidential Precinct breakfast, President Jonathan
was received by former Governor Jerry Baliles of Virginia
and Francois Baird Chairman of the Presidential Precinct
Board. His hosts described him as a ‘Hero of Democracy’ in
Africa, a nation builder and sustainer of true democratic
principles and good governance.
While in the United States, Jonathan is billed to be hosted by
other strategic US pro-democracy institutions where he would
be sharing his experience on peaceful and transparent
elections as well as the future of Africa’s democracy. The
Presidential Precinct is a consortium uniting six American
landmark institutions – four of America’s most important
historic sites and two of the country’s most outstanding
public universities.
These include the College of William and Mary (America’s
second oldest university), the University of Virginia, William
Short’s Morven, and the homes of three Founding
Fathers;President Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, President
James Madison’s Montpelier and President James Monroe’s
Ash-Lawn Highland.
Jonathan has hit the international circuit lately, with last’s
week’s appointment by Commonwealth to lead negotiations for
the resolution of the political stalemate in Zanzibar, coming
as his latest high profile assignment. It followed his leadership
of the Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) to last month’s
Tanzania general election which came as an affirmation of
the former President’s towering status as the moral face of
democracy and transparent polling in Africa
