I
thank The African Sun Times for naming me as its International Person
of the year, 2015. I am indeed humbled by this honour. When I think
about it, I understand why this medium may have thought me worthy of
such an honour. However, I believe that my people, the Nigerian people,
are more deserving of this honour. We, the Nigerian people put to shame
naysayers and prophets of doom and in 2015, we held a most transparent,
violence free and credible elections that transferred power
from one political party to another and from an incumbent to the
opposition, without rancour, bitterness or strife. In the process, we
proved that nobody's political ambition is worth the blood of any
Nigerian or any national of any country for that matter. That to me, is a
most worthy testimonial of the character of the Nigerian nation and the
resilience of our people which is why I dedicate this honour to them.
May God continue to bless Nigeria and Nigerians. GEJ.
