Leadership Newspaper, the Nigeria's most influential newspaper has named former President, Goodluck Jonathan as the person of the Year, 2015.

According to the newspaper: “Many will wonder how former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan qualified as our man of the year. It is not mere happenstance. In spite of our critical stance against his style of governance, it is difficult to ignore his resolve to quit in consonance with the people’s will desire for change. It was an act of courage; and it was the first of its kind in Nigeria. In this regard, the former president has set a very high standard for future leaders to follow.

By erring on the side of caution and putting the nation before self, after losing the March 28 presidential polls, Jonathan has secured his place in history and the pantheon of statesmen.”
