PDP govs congratulate ex-president Jonathan on winning Sunhak Peace Prize
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) has congratulated former president Goodluck Jonathan for winning the prestigious 2025 Founders Sunhak Peace Prize (FSPP).
The congratulatory message is contained in a statement issued by the Director-General of the PDP-GF, Dr Emmanuel Agbo, on Wednesday in Abuja on behalf of the Chairman, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State.
Mohammed said the award being one of the highest global honours reserved for men of outstanding initiatives across the world is well deserving.
He said that since leaving office in 2015, Jonathan had been very visible on the global scene advocating and propagating peace towards the development of humanity, adding that the global recognition could not be fully appreciated without recalling days of Jonathan as Nigeria’s president between 2010-2015.
Mohammed recalled how Jonathan, in no small measure, transformed Nigeria and the lives of Nigerians with impactful policies, projects and programmes in every nook and cranny of the country.
He said that Jonathan’s administration recorded several outstanding and yet-to-be-broken achievements.
These, according to him, include the rebranding of the Nigerian economy and its gross domestic product for the first time in over a decade, making the country become the largest economy in Africa by overtaking South Africa and Egypt.
Mohammed prayed for divine protection upon Jonathan and his family as he continued to lead and serve by example beyond borders.
Former president Jonathan made history as the winner of the 2025 Founder’s Sunhak Peace Award, a prestigious recognition by the Sunhak Peace Prize Foundation in Seoul, South Korea.
With this win, Jonathan becomes the first African leader and the only third recipient of the Founder’s Prize, following in the footsteps of former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The Sunhak Peace Prize Committee lauded Jonathan’s relentless peace efforts, highlighting his pro-democracy initiatives and mediation roles across Africa.
