The high-profile event became more than a birthday celebration, serving as a moment of collective reflection on Dr. Jonathan’s legacy of humility in leadership, democratic consolidation, and his continued advocacy for peace and credible elections across the continent and beyond.
Speaking on the sidelines of the ceremony, Ambassador Onwukwem described the former Nigerian leader as “a symbol of humility in leadership and a global advocate for peace and credible elections,” noting that Dr. Jonathan’s statesmanship continues to inspire leaders across political, business, and civic spaces.
According to Onwukwem, Dr. Jonathan’s commitment to dialogue, unity, and democratic values has shaped a generation of change-makers, including entrepreneurs and innovators who see nation-building as a shared responsibility. He stressed that leadership rooted in peace and inclusion creates the foundation upon which sustainable development can thrive.
The Greenbirch Technology Limited CEO further emphasized the need for bridge-building across government, private enterprise, and civil society, arguing that collaboration remains central to addressing Africa’s development challenges.
He reaffirmed his company’s commitment to leveraging innovation for social impact, youth empowerment, and inclusive economic growth.
The ceremony featured goodwill messages and tributes celebrating Dr. Jonathan’s life of service and his symbolic role as a statesman whose actions continue to promote national cohesion, integrity, and peaceful democratic transitions.
As the tributes poured in, the celebration reinforced Dr. Jonathan’s standing not just as a former Nigerian president, but as a continental voice for peace and democratic values—an influence that, at 68, continues to resonate strongly across Africa and the global community.
