Goodluck Jonathan Honoured in Atlanta by the SCLC by auntysimbiat(f): 11:22pm On Jan 14, 2016 |
Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was today (January 14th) honored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. He was awarded with the Presidential Award in recognition of his leadership in advancing human rights, social justice and the fight for universal freedom. [img]http://3.bp..com/-OSWDejQyjUY/Vpgbhx7FKRI/AAAAAAAH_iI/3astvNR2gVI/s320/1.jpg[/img] The SCLC, founded by the late American Civil Right leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, in January 1957 is currently led by Dr. Charles Steele Jr. The event is part of the activities leading up to the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day on Monday, January 18th, 2016. Former President Jonathan is the first African leader to be so honored. Dr. Jonathan also received Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's sister, Naomi King during the event. Before his remarks at the event, Dr. Jonathan met privately with the president of the SCLC. [img]http://1.bp..com/-3FS5-uoLIXQ/VpgbixmdP2I/AAAAAAAH_iQ/RmOnk3iNKj0/s320/2.jpg[/img] The president of the SCLC, Dr. Charles Steele Jr proposed to work with the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation to advance the cause of peace around the world and to bridge the gap between people of color in the Diaspora and Africa. Former President Jonathan responded that his vision is to help stabilize and promote democracy and peace in Africa. [img]http://2.bp..com/-lzZNoUhaYvo/Vpgbjs8_8-I/AAAAAAAH_iU/MaEWg2MMW9U/s320/3.jpg[/img] He went on to say that without peace you can not have economic progress. He revealed that this was the reason he pushed for Nigeria's intervention to ensure peace in various African nations such as Côte d'Ivoire while he was in office. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and President Steele then agreed to collaborate along the lines suggested by the former Nigerian President. At the event, former President Jonathan expressed his gratitude to the SCLC for inviting him and declared that it was "virtually impossible to separate this worthy body from its founder, the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, or from epoch making landmark events of the American Civil Rights movement".

In keeping with that, I have learnt not to look up to any man, except he is taller than I, or to look down on a fellow mortal, except I am admiring his shoes". Former President Goodluck Jonathan is the Chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation and is in Atlanta, Georgia, on the invitation of a number of US institutions. Below are his full remarks at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Jonathan can continue to deceive himself. That is his problem Travelling to the USA and taking pictures with irrelevant people will not stop Nigerians from asking him the key questions Nigerians are not fools! There are many Nigerians that live in the US and they know he is gallivanting and using the opportunity to deflect from his responsibilities. You cannot steal so much money and cover it up with a PR campaign When he is done, he will come and account for his theft in Nigeria 57 Likes 5 Shares |

Goodluck Jonathan is not a perfect man and he had his flaws but one can't take away the fact that ultimately he was a good man who did his best for his country. Running a dysfunctional country is no mincemeat, something that even the Sai Buhari chanters have probably realised after a few months of their hero in power. Btw, nice to see Reno Omokri with GEJ, still loyal and faithful even out of power...He and Reuben Abati are really true friends. 157 Likes 10 Shares |
