Tinubu Congratulates Ex-President Jonathan On Winning Sunhak Peace Prize

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan on his win of the 2025 Sunhak Peace Founders’ Award.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu commended Jonathan for his longstanding advocacy for peace, harmony, and unity. He highlighted Jonathan’s tireless dedication to peacebuilding, which has garnered global recognition.

President Tinubu emphasized that Jonathan’s receipt of the prestigious Sunhak Peace Award serves as a testament to his significant contributions to promoting democracy and peace, both in Africa and globally.

The President also reflected on the historic moment when Jonathan, after losing the 2015 presidential election, peacefully accepted the result and handed over power to an opposition party—an action that strengthened Nigeria’s democratic credentials and set a remarkable example for the continent.

Tinubu expressed his heartfelt congratulations to Jonathan on this prestigious achievement and also extended his gratitude to the Sunhak Peace Prize Committee for acknowledging the efforts of individuals and leaders committed to improving the world.
