Don King, foremost boxing promoter has congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan and Nigerians on the country's Golden Jubilee anniversary, adding that Nigeria would continue to be a leading light in Africa and the world in general.
As Nigeria celebrates her independence tomorrow, Don King said he's optimistic that Nigeria would in due course meet the expectations of its founding fathers even as he drums up support for the government of President Jonathan.
“Glory be to God that Nigeria is celebrating her 50 years anniversary tomorrow and I'm very happy for Nigeria and President Goodluck Jonathan because this anniversary is the celebration of freedom, liberty for the Nigerian people and I'm very happy indeed,” Don King, the 79-year-old renowned promoter said in a statement.
“Nigeria is a shining light in Africa and it's great that the country has been there this past 50 years in good times and bad times. I'm so happy that this anniversary is happening under a democratic setting because it means that Nigeria is on the move...on the upward mobility and total reforms, and progress in healthcare, education under President Goodluck Jonathan.”
Speaking further, Don King said that Nigeria can ride on the goodwill of President Jonathan to attain lofty dreams, promising that he's ready to offer any assistance anytime, anyway. “Goodluck would bring good luck to Nigeria. Under Good luck, I trust one man; one vote would count because he said so much about this recently at the United Nations Assembly.
I have no doubt in my mind that in 50 years to come, Nigeria would have achieved the dreams of its founding fathers. I'm so happy with the good people of Nigeria and you can always trust that I'm ready to offer any assistance to Nigeria and Nigerians anytime because Nigeria is an extension of my family. I love Nigeria, I love President Goodluck Jonathan and I'm optimistic that Nigeria would continue to be the leading light in Africa and in the world. My best wishes are with Nigeria as he celebrates her Golden Jubilee and in time to come. It is a promise I have made and I would continue to put my eyes in anything that has Nigeria's interest.”
Meanwhile, Don King has described as nothing but mischief as well as flagrant display of ignorance on the part of anybody alleging that he caused Samuel Peter's fall from grace. Under the watch of Don King, Peter became interim Heavyweight Champion of the World in 2007 but the Nigerian has been on a free fall after recent defeats in the hands of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, fuelling speculations that the American is the architect of Peter's misfortune.
