Amiri in a press statement said; “Africa is the source of life, a continent rich in diversity, culture people and natural resources. It is a continent that has contributed blood, sweat and resources for the development of the world. As the cradle of civilization it supplies the rest of the world with its vast natural resources needed for industrialization.” 

He noted that Africa is a continent of great minds-leaders, entrepreneurs, entertainers, activists and visionaries who have shaped history and continue to shape the future pointing out that the struggle for independence to technological innovations and economic transformation were testament to these great personalities who have left indelible marks in the continent. 

According to him, Nigeria as Africa’s giant has produced some of the most influential figures in governance, business and culture and such personalities who have shaped the continent in one discipline or the other. 

“Africa has produced notable names like Nelson Mandela, an Anti -apartheid revolutionary, former President and global icon of peace and reconciliation. Others are Kwame Nkrumah, a leading figure in Ghana’s independence and the African unity movement, Obafemi Awolowo, advocate of free education and one of Nigeria’s foremost thinkers, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria’s first President and key Nationalist leader. We must also mention Julius Nyerere, father of Tanzanian Independence, Paul Kagame who led Rwanda’s transformation after the 1994 genocide and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa’s first elected female head of state and symbol of female empowerment.”

The 14th edition of Peace Legend Award, according Amiri is not about Africa’s pioneering leaders but about the current leaders who have excelled in their different areas of human endeavors saying that the selection process has been very transparent, tasking but thorough, ensuring that the very best are selected.
