The African Sun Times, Africa’s number one and largest newspaper in
America, has announced its Persons-of-the-Year, as well as the
Corporate Social Responsibility Company of the Year.
The categories the newspaper has chosen this year include
International Person of the Year, African Statesman of the Year,
Corporate Social Responsibility Company of the Year, Pan-African Person
of the Year, Diaspora Person of the Year, Most Influential Person of
the Year Under 40, and the African Tourism Ambassador of the Year.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, former President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, received the honourary award of the International Person of
the Year, 2015. The Nigerian leader shocked the whole world by swiftly
calling current Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on phone to concede
defeat in the March 29, 2015 Nigerian presidential election, thereby
stopping the predictions of violent bloodshed in Nigeria, and keeping
his words that he would not allow the blood of a Nigerian to be shed to
further his political ambitions.
President Jonathan must be applauded for creating a solid
foundation for the growth of democracy in Africa. The world has started
to recognize President Jonathan’s courageous act.
