Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the National Stalwart of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress Asiwaju Bola Tinubu have won African Democracy Award for their efforts to grow democracy and good governance on the continent.
“This award serves to recognise and encourage icons of democracy and good governance in Africa. It has been our culture to celebrate those political figures who have done a lot to promote democracy in their respective countries,” Kehinde Bamigbetan, President of APC Africa, said in a speech at the ceremony.
“The Prime Minister won this award because of the tremendous works he has done in Ethiopia since he came on board. He opened up the political space and freed dissidents who were in jail. We also believe that a leader who has done so much to broker peace in Sudan deserves to be recognised,” Bamigbetan said.
Firayad Mahmud, who received the award on behalf of the Prime Minister, thanked the organisers of the event and said the recognition would spur Abiy to continue to work for democracy, human rights and peace.
