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.

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.

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".

He also said "My personal takeaway from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, is service to God and the brotherhood and equality of all men before their Creator. 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.

Rubbish. Used to respect him but that was then. Where will our economy be now if he was re-elected ? Only God knows. He should be probed too.

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

Hate him or like him, this man has too much "goodluck" surrounding him

So Reno Omokiri follows GEJ every where. Wow that's pure loyalty to his boss.


Anyways, kudos to GEJ on achieving yet another landmark even though, am not a fan.

No wonder he ensured Bubu signed a non-prosecution pact with him in the event that he loses the election.

''not to look down on any man except am admiring his shoes''.

The Hero Of Democracy always shining unlike the tyrant, who broke a record by being the first president ever to steal a budget

GEJ will continue to be honoured while the opposition will continue to be confused by speaking Hausa and English at the same time.

Goodluck God has blessed, no man can curse!
