Technically, it's not a nickname. It's more of an acronym derived from his surname - Gowon.

He got this nickname because he was the one who tried to and successfully prevented the dissolution of Nigeria which would have taken place if the secession of Biafra from Nigeria proved successful.

Oh yeah, he was also known as Jack but that was his real name so that doesn't count. :)
