President Bola Tinubu has congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan on winning the prestigious 2025 Sunhak Peace Founders’ Award.
In a statement on Tuesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commended Jonathan for his consistent advocacy for peace and democracy, describing it as a patriotic effort that has earned him global recognition.
“The President states that Dr. Jonathan’s winning the Sunhak Peace Award affirms his bold efforts in peacebuilding and promoting democracy in Africa and beyond,” the statement said.
Tinubu also recalled Jonathan’s historic acceptance of the 2015 presidential election results and his peaceful handover of power to an opposition party, which bolstered Nigeria’s democratic profile.
He thanked the Sunhak Peace Prize Committee for recognizing individuals working to improve the world.
The Sunhak Peace Prize is awarded every two years to individuals and organizations making significant contributions to global peace and development.
The prize recognizes efforts in three key areas: sustainable human development, conflict resolution, and environmental conservation.
Jonathan will receive the 2025 Founders’ Sunhak Peace Award at a ceremony in Seoul, South Korea.
This award is a testament to Jonathan’s commitment to peace and democracy, and it is a proud moment for Nigeria.
