Just Asking Series: Did Jonathan Had the Mo Ibrahim Prize in mind when he handed over voluntarily?

Here is one in my "Just Asking Series": Did Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had the Mo Ibrahim Prize in mind as a retirement prize when he handed over power?
I am just asking but it seems his aide are so taken aback that he didn't get the prize.
They shouldn't because the loot they took out of Nigeria should suffice for them...just saying
