Photos: Political A-Listers All Brush Their Ego Aside to Accept Centenary Award

What political feud? President Jonathan honored big name Nigerians yesterday in Abuja with a centenary award and many of the recipients are direct political opponents and former heads of states as well as many others who have played important roles in the growth of Nigeria. It is a sight that any well meaning Nigerian would be very pleased with as it featured high profile Nigerians like Olusegun Obasanjo who recently sent a critical open letter to the president, Buhari who is a political opponent for the seat of presidency and even General Babangida.

The Abiola family, Kuti Family, Atiku, Wole Soyinka and Gani family all rejected the award.
