Former president, Goodluck Jonathan to address UN, Swiss press on Wednesday in Geneva

According to daily Sun, former Nigerian president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, will, on Wednesday, January 27, hold a world press conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

The press conference, which holds at 3:00pm 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 press release by Guy Mettan, Executive Director of 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 would 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 defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari last year even before the final results of the 2015 Nigerian presidential election was announced. (Daily Sun)
