President Goodluck Jonathan has disclosed that
he will become a peace ambassador after handing
over the mantle of leadership to Muhammadu
Buhari on May 29.
The president explained that he strongly believes
Nigerians can only practise their different religions
in a peaceful environment.
Jonathan disclosed this shortly after he was
decorated with the 2015 Epitome of Peace Award
by the Field Superintendent of The Apostolic
Church Nigeria, Federal Capital Territory Field,
Apostle John Buzu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja
on Friday.
Jonathan, who has been receiving eulogies from
the international community for conceding defeat
to Buhari, said he would work hard to reduce
religious and racial discrimination in the country
after leaving office.
Hear him, “To whom much is given, much is
expected. For you to honour me today, you have
given me another mandate to work harder to
ensure that we as Nigerians continue to live in
peace.
“One thing I have decided I will do after leaving
office is to be talking to faithful of all religions:
Christians, Muslims and other religions, on the
need for Nigerians to live in peace.
“This is because when there is crisis in any part of
the country, nobody can practise his own religion.
If there is crisis anywhere, people cannot go to the
mosque, they cannot go to the church.
“We need peace in this country, no matter our
religious persuasion or belief. That will be one of
my main commitments when I leave office: to
reduce discrimination in this country based on
religious divides or ethnicity. I believe I will have
so many apostles that will follow me to do that.”
He added that a few of them, including himself,
are a bit luckier because their contributions are
noticed.
“I sincerely thank you for considering me fit for
this honour that you have just bestowed on me.
“All of us do a number of things everyday. People
have saved this country, we don’t even know some
of them or what they did but some people are a
bit luckier that their actions are noticed and
sometimes rewarded.
“You have also noticed me with my little
contribution, not just because I am the President
of the country, but because of an action I took
that you believe saved lives and you are honouring
me,” he added.

“I am grateful for the insignia given to me: the
plaque, the medal and the dress are quite unique.
They will be very conspicuous in my Presidential
museum or library so that even after 50 years,
people will still see and appreciate what you have
done today even if I have left this world and have
gone beyond, what you have done will still be
displayed in my library for people to see,” he
added.
