Some of these leaders in Africa are individuals with very low mentality and do not know what democracy is all about. If they do, a president will not be in power for over 30 years. This is a slap on democracy and the citizens of those countries and African Union are not doing anything to correct this terrible mistake. The constitution of these countries specifies only two terms in office of 4 or 5 years in each term for every president but some of these leaders have bent the constitution of their various countries to suit their selfish purposes which is very bad. If you look at these countries, they are so backward, no reform has been carried out since they took over power. The citizens of these countries are facing lots of difficulties and very harsh economic condition, still the leaders pretend that everything is alright in their various countries. Terrorism, insecurity and fighting are everywhere and some of these leaders have completed their two terms as the constitution of their countries specified but they refused to step down because they have tested the goodness of that seat, therefore leaving the presidential post becomes a problem. They installed themselves as presidents of their countries by manipulating election results because they want to be in power forever. What a shame. Viewers Corner News is sincerely appealing to all these African leaders practising dictatorship because we can not call that a democratic system of government to respect the constitution of their countries by stepping down when their tenure of office is over. They should respect the will of the people. This type of system is among the reasons African countries can not move forward. Staying in power for many years and no development is made, what do they think that they will do better as they stay more than required? It will still be the same hardship for the citizens of their various countries. We
(Viewers Corner News team) are suggesting that they carry out real economic reforms that will bring benefits to the citizens of their various countries. Provide good medical care facilities, jobs and reduce or eradicate corruption in your country. Always remember the citizens of your various countries who were under the sun for hours trying to cast their votes for you so that you can represent them nicely, they should come first before everything. Respect them and work for them, this is part of what democracy and good governance is all about.
