Jonathan’s action was described as ‘classy’ by Ghanaian activist, Nii Akuetteh in the Wilson Centre’s Africa Year Review 2015.

“Thanks to Jonathan’s handling the election and the turnover of power so smoothly, another potential havoc was avoided,” Akuetteh wrote.

“Unquestionably, Nigeria’s recent embrace of democracy and Jonathan’s classy role define Africa’s most important—and uplifting—story of 2015. Africa and the world should give thanks,” he added.

Jonathan has earned worldwide accolade to President Muhammadu Buhari after the March 28 elections, thus preventing Nigeria from erupting into massive waves of electoral violence which many around the world had predicted would occur.

He was recently chosen to head a Commonwealth observer mission for the Tanzania elections and was also called upon to intervene in Zanzibar’s political stalemate.
