Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, will on Wednesday, hold a world press conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
The press
conference, which holds at 3pm local time, is part of activities lined
up by the Circle of Diplomats (Circle Diplomatique), Geneva in honour of
Jonathan, which would be concluded with a dinner same day.
According to a
statement by Guy Mettan, Executive Director, the Geneva Press Club,
Jonathan will address two most crucial topics in Nigeria and West Africa
at the press briefing.
Mettan said the
former Nigerian president will talk about security and civil peace in
Nigeria and West Africa, on one hand, as well as improvement of health
and education of children, on the other.
He said accredited
United Nations correspondents and Swiss journalists are expected at the
press conference, which will most likely see Jonathan talking about Boko
Haram activities in Nigeria and the fight against insurgency.
The Circle of Diplomats will also host a dinner in honour of Jonathan on Wednesday night at the Intercontinental Hotel, Geneva.
Since leaving
office on May 29, 2015, Jonathan has engaged in peace missions and
election monitoring on behalf of the United Nations. He has also
received global awards and acclaim for peacefully relinquishing power
after losing the presidential election last year.
Jonathan had
conceded defeated to President Muhammadu Buhari last year even before
the final results of the 2015 Nigerian presidential election was
announced.
