WHY PAEDIA EXPRESS MULTIMEDIA NOMINATED BUHARI,JONATHAN
PICKED FOR THE 2015 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
the editorial and policy board of the above mentioned outfit
has selected the duo of general
muhammadu buhari, and dr goodluck ebele azikiwe jonathan for outstanding
contributions towards peace and the course of democracy for 2015
great friends despite a political rivalry that has now set the tone for good governance even in global politics
reasons:
1]That dr goodluck ebele jonathan did not seek to gag the
press,he signed the freedom of information bill into law in nigeria
2]that dr goodluck ebele jonathan despite serious concerns and
reservation allowed the usage of the controversial card reading machine thus
promoting the principle of accountability
3]that despite the worry of the opposition, the usage of law
enforcement agents which dr goodluck jonathan ordered helped to check trouble
in otherwise volatile areas
4]that dr goodluck ebele jonathan kept nigeria together as a
single entity despite the threats of religious beasts called boko haram even in
the face of sabotage
5]that on two occasions he signed historic peace pact with
rival politician, general muhammadu buhari
6]that dr goodluck ebele azikiwe jonathan helped to provide
a level playing field for opposition
politics to thrive
7]that dr goodluck ebele jonathan despite several
accusations by the opposition never succumbed to the temptation of rigging his
opponents out
8]that general muhammadu buhari helped to deepen democracy
by showing that if there was a will power there was a way,an incumbent can be
defeated in African and global politics
9]that general muhammadu buhari’s deep love for hard work, transparency
and accountability ,uncommon in african leadership should be commended
10]that general muhammadu buhari’s love for Nigerians
irrespective of religion and tribe in a deeply fractured nation will keep
nigeria together into the future
11] that general muhammadu buhari’s ability to transcend from
been a soldier to been a democrat is a clear testament we can all learn from
even into the future
12]general buhari’s believe in the rule of law
a]as head of state,he ruled by martial law churned out in
the form of decrees and never acted outside of the laws of the land
b]as presidential aspirant of the all Nigerian peoples party
[a.n.p.p.]despite been cheated by the ruling peoples democratic party on
numerous occassions he still went to court to challenge rulings he knew he was never going to win in
2003,2007 and 2011.
the supreme court’s verdict in 2007 was particularly ridiculous
as weeks before then, late Nigerian presidnt, alhaji umaru musa yar’adua was
quoted severally in the press to have declared that the elections that brought
him to office was fraudulent.
if this had happened in other climes yar’adua’s statement
alone was enough to throw him out of office but judges in the nigerian supreme
court in there own wisdom in a split decision delivered a political judgment to
the favour of the deceased yar’adua.
irrespective of the aftermath of the 2015 presidential
elections in nigeria ,where we believe that a winner and a loser had to emmerge we do not however see a loser.
the two gladiators are eminently qualified as statesmen to
be given a pride of place by the prize committee of the nobel peace prize for
the year 2015.
we congratulate ,his excellency ,general muhammadu buhari
for achieving his life long dream of about 30 years of once again ruling nigeria
,this time via the ballots.
we also congratulate ,his excellency ,dr goodluck jonathan
for having steered the administrative compass of nigeria through an extremely
difficult path in the last six years.
to the duo, we say take a bow
