1. Goodluck Jonathan
Many Nigerians will be grateful to the immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan for the role he played in calming nerves during an extremely heated point in our political history. If not for him, Nigeria would be in turmoil now and the Syrian experience might have repeated itself.
In the buildup to the 2015 presidential election, Jonathan set the right tune that ensured that the peace the country was witnessing was not jeopardized.
At the onset of his presidency in January 12, Jonathan said: “Any ambition I have at any times is not worth the blood of Nigerians.’ That was the turning point for Nigeria politics. Unlike in the past where leaders were quoted to have said that ‘election is a do or die affair.”
As the then incumbent president, he was constantly under pressure to alter or postpone the election, sack the then INEC boss, Professor Attahiru Jega, etc. He maintained his stance till the final end when he called President Muhammadu Buhari to congratulate him on his victory.
Jonathan was physically present at the swearing-in of the new president thus teaching other governors that absconded from their responsibility of handling over to their predecessors from opposition party, of politics without bitterness.
This singular act endeared him to the heart of Nigerians and many more generation will read and come to appreciate his effort for Nigeria’s unity.
