| Jonathan Goodluck |
BENIN CITY—MR Jude Imagwe, a former Special Assistant to President Jonathan Goodluck Jonathan on Youths, said yesterday that his former boss deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for accepting defeat in the last presidential elections.
According to Imagwe, “
If not for his calm attitude and his not being crazy for power, Nigeria would have been burning today. The people must not forget the sacrifice made by this man to save Nigeria.”
He lampooned the forrmer Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, who recently said that conceding defeat by the former President should not be seen as an achievement, therefore, suggested that the former President should not be given a hero’s status.
Imagwe, who spoke to newsmen in Benin City, shortly after a thanksgiving service for a successful tenure, at the Saint John Vianney Catholic Church, stressed that Jonathan’s singular act disappointed doomsday prophets, who had predicted that the country would be plunged into bloodshed after the 2015 general elections.
