You need to align relative to something and the default "First Item" might not do anything.
I find using a selection often the best bet. Make a selection covering the width of the canvas. Invoke the Align tool. Click on the text to make it the "Target". Choose Selection from the drop-down menu. Click on the icons.
Then it goes like this animation https://i.imgur.com/J39ZI1g.mp4

Edit: Is it really the Alignment tool you need ? You can use the Text Tool options.
Make the text box the width of the canvas. Text box now 'Fixed' Use the Center Justify icon.
edit again: Never got a reply when last asked. Are you really still using Gimp 2.8 ?
