I thank the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,
for inviting and honoring me today, and especially so,
as this invitation comes right about the period when
the world stands still in recognition of the selfless
sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When we think of the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC), it is 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. I am pleased to know that the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference is not just one of the great
American institutions, it is also one of her more potent
vehicles for the advancement of liberty and freedom
for all God’s people. For that, I also commend
Charles Steele for his leadership and commitment to peace and justice nationally and globally. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr’s principles of non violent
protests played a great part in the independence
movement in my native country Nigeria and indeed
throughout Africa as a whole. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr witnessed the British Union
Jack being lowered in Ghana in 1957 when Ghana
became the first Sub-Saharan African nation to gain
independence, an action which set off a positive chain
reaction all over the continent. In 1963, Ambassador Leslie O. Harriman, Nigeria’s
Permanent Representative to the United Nations, who
prosecuted our anti apartheid strategy at the UN,
testified of the support he received from Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr in kick starting that noble effort. Suffice to say that the efforts of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in
advancing Liberty and equal rights transcended
national boundaries. Speaking for my foundation, the Goodluck Jonathan
Foundation, I must say that I have been inspired by
this great man and the worthy institutions and
legacies he left behind and I am further inspired to
continuing doing good and advancing human
freedoms just by being present here today. 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. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said: “Power at its
best is love implementing the demands of justice.
Justice at its best is love correcting everything that
stands against love”. Those words helped me deliver on my stated promise
to deepen democracy in Nigeria and in the process
demonstrate through action that nobody’s political
ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. Once again, I thank the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference for having me. May God bless you and
continue to raise up from among you men and women
who will continue in the footsteps of your worthy
forebears.
