Jonathan Symbol Of Democracy In Africa – Carter by Afokesco(m): 8:27pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
Former United States President Jimmy
Carter has poured encomiums on
Nigeria’s former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The 39th US President described
Jonathan as a symbol of democracy on
the African continent.
He made the remark while receiving
Jonathan at the Jimmy Carter Presidential
Library and Museum located at the Carter
Center in Atlanta.
They were said to have held a fruitful
meeting at the Carter Center where they
held a wide-ranging discussion on global
issues and shared views on how to
promote peace, democracy and good
governance in Africa and the world.
Speaking on Jonathan’s time in office,
Carter said: “President Goodluck Jonathan
is the symbol of democracy in action. You
set an example that other African leaders
should follow.”
The former American President also
praised Jonathan for organizing a
transparent election and easily conceding
defeat and handing over to the
opposition.
By so doing, he said that Jonathan
showed his deep democratic
commitment.
Responding, Jonathan said that his
actions while in office were informed by
his belief in a peaceful, transparent and
people-oriented governance, adding that
Africa can only move forward through
democracy and good governance.
He commended President Carter for the
exemplary manner he had in his post-
presidential life, adding that he was
inspired by Carter’s commitment to
causes that advance the path of
humanity.
Jonathan and Carter share a common
experience as one term Presidents and
have both retired involuntarily from
politics while rededicating their lives
towards making the world a better place.
They both agreed that peaceful and
stable government increase foreign direct
investment and sustainable development.
The Carter Center is a nongovernmental,
not-for-profit organization founded in
1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter and his wife Rosalynn Carter and
guided by a fundamental commitment to
human rights and the alleviation of
human suffering.
It seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts,
enhance freedom and democracy, and
improve health.
Jonathan has been visiting many strategic
pro-democracy institutions where he had
been invited to share his experience in
office as a promoter of democracy and
advocate of good governance in Africa.
He had so far been hosted by the
Presidential Precinct in Virginia, John
Kennedy School of Government, King
Center as well as the Carter Center.
While visiting the Presidential Precinct in
Charlottesville Virginia, last week
Jonathan assured the international
community that African leaders were
displaying more commitment to
democracy and good governance, as a
means of engendering sustainable
development an improving the lives of
the people.
He is scheduled to speak a long side with
Former US Secretary of State Johnnie
Carson about elections, peace and
democracy at the National Democratic
Institute, and Howard University in
Washington DC. 2 Likes

I've always known that this man's worth will be known when he leaves office. Soon, he will be made the UN Chief in our own eyes. 1. Buhari adopts Gej's treasury single account strategy. 2. Buhari inspects peugeot cars manufactured in Nigeria, a feat achieved by Gej without media hype. 3. Buhari continues with Gej's subsidy payments, an act he vehemently condemned but have realised it's the only way out for now. Please help me count numerous others. 2 Likes 1 Share |

....and just like that this great man has turned into a Global Citizen with class, dining with those that matters in the scheme of things. What he couldn't achieve as a sitting President God gave him as a former President.....he suddenly rose from being tagged clueless by the ungrateful "15 million Nigerians who never saw anything good in his humble approach to thorny issues" to an International Speaker, motivator, ambassador of peace, humanitarian, Darling of heads of States across the world. I can wager, Jonathan is being positioned for a position of Global Status by the International Community......I just love the simple life and the edifying smile of this Great Son of Africa. Note: Obasanjo will definitely go paranoid with this edifying and cheering news. Moral of this piece, no matter what people say about you don't let it bother you but press further with your good intentions and God will take care of the rest.

Ioannes:Oh Really? So you're an adult? I am so sorry if you're not a teenager and I suggest you go for a brain surgery since your skull is too weak to support normal automatic brain upgrade. The doctors there will need to do it manually because there's an urgent need to replace your childish brain with that of an adult before you disgrace yourself the more. You reason like a fool's closest neighbour to be honest, you said that I don't know you enough to tell your father's age but you know me enough to tell that I am still a teenager? Ode. |

Nigerians are unfortunate people. People like Jonathan are propped up for them by the Western world white supremacists as role model, when in actual fact they are laughing at us. He lost an election what would he have done before? Sit tight? when he knew what happened to Gbagbo and wife. We just keep celebrating mediocrity and we wonder why smaller countries in Africa are better than Nigeria. A state governor sinks a borehole somewhere you see people screaming messiah. he patches a road somewhere, the unfortunate people want to die for him. People wake up. these guys are giving you crumbs of a crumb's crumb. Most Nigerians have never left the country to saner climes so they may not understand what quality life should look like. so unfortunate. lets see how many unfortunate human beings will insult me instead of digesting this and thanking me later |

Ioannes:It is very certain you are lonely see as you carry Jonathan matter for head like box of gala. APC lied their way to power yet you cannot start judging the wrong steps Buhari's administration took right from May 29 but that gentleman that handed over peacefully to him and now being recognized globally is your problem you definitely need a shrink. Cc: Lalasticlala another frontpage worthy piece |

tomakint: nope am not lonely, everybody cant be like you. i should start judging a man who just got to power and leave the embezzler and clueless one who was there for 6years. you need to go treat yourself. get a cure before it gets out of hand. |
