As part of its mission to promote democracy globally, the Precinct convenes leaders from many different backgrounds, religions, and political systems. Following the examples of Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, we at the Precinct are interested in exploring knowledge and ideas no matter where they may be found or who may promote them. In the words of Thomas Jefferson “For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it”.

The Precinct’s most recent visitor was Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, president of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015. President Jonathan hopes to continue serving Nigeria and Africa by establishing institutions that can effect meaningful change. Jonathan was the first President in Nigeria’s history to peacefully concede the results of a democratic election and to relinquish his position in office to the opposition. The peaceful transfer of power was an original goal of the American founding fathers. It was fitting that President Jonathan chose to begin planning a private Foundation and his post presidential role by coming to the Presidential Precinct in Virginia for advice.

President Jonathan spent nearly a week, November 8-13, 2015, at the Presidential Precinct, meeting with academic, government and business leaders and sharing his experiences with local experts. Here he discussed with them ideas for bringing peace and economic development to Africa. He also used the opportunity to work with specialists to hone his Foundation’s message.
