He is to receive his honor, at the group’s annual dinner in Geneva.
Meanwhile,He is the first African leader to be so honored by the revered group of diplomats.
At the dinner gala night Jonathan will also deliver a keynote address.

Earlier in the year, a public policy organization on African affairs, the Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center, recommended the ex-president for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The group said the peaceful way Jonathan conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28th general election deserves the attention of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

“He may have not promoted fraternity between nations but he surely promotes fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power,” the group noted.
