Speaking to VANGUARD during a telephone interview, Audu who is member of the All Progressives Congress, APC said, ''I don’t want to pre-empt what Buhari can do but, as far as I am concerned, President Jonathan deserves to be recommended for the Nobel Prize for Peace. You know what has been happening around Africa that once a leader is in position, he wants to stay put. They don’t like to relinquish position. Look at what happened in Ivory Coast and other places. We have seen a lot of maturity and love in him. He said it is not worth shedding any blood for the position of the presidency. How many people in Nigeria, in Africa, in the third world reason that way? They want to perpetrate themselves in power and, for the mere fact that he has shown the difference, he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. But for this maturity, trouble would have erupted in Nigeria''.

''Mark you, so many years ago, America predicted that, in 2015, Nigeria will disintegrate. Have we proved them wrong or not? Even Nigerians themselves, before the election, a lot of people left their business areas to retire to their villages saying if they should die, they will not like to die in the town, they will like to die in their village because they predicted the aftermath of the election to be very disastrous, but Jonathan has proved such prediction wrong. So, I take off my cap for him. He is a good leader and he should be given special recognition by recommending him for Nobel Prize and considering what has being happening in Africa to set a very good example for other leaders to emulate. Look at what is happening in Zimbabwe?''.
