Of the first 6, 5 of them were in Africa

Not Suprised

El Rufai warned us that Tinubu is preparing to be life president, and we shouldn't dismiss his timely warning.

crying is FUN. TINUBU will handover to North in 2031. OBI can contest in 2041

The way Tinubu is going, it won't be surprised if he is planning to remain president for life. But Nigeria is too complex for that. It can never happen

Cameroon president is 92 and the man just win another 8 years
nna na wah ooo

50years in power God forbid , the greed in human beings, needed to be studied especially our African leaders...what's that biya guy still doing in Cameron on that seat baya ,imagine 50 year old man in Nigeria knowing only one president, if u die before 50years in Cameron, he lived and died in the reign of one person....thank God, such won't happen in Nigeria

Something Even Abacha could not do

Indeed Nigeria is too big for that nonsense

OBJ would have been here if given the chance

Majority of them are in Africa, it's no wonder why we are the least developed continent

Like for Russia/Belarus Share for NATO/USA/West. Lol.

They didn't add Emperor Peter of Nigeria

Putin and Lukashenko are in good company

Don't mind him, yet he has been lying all over the place that he did not seek a third term

And Paul biya is still going for another 7 years and will be 99 yrs at completion. Africa!!!!!!!

Sadly Africa is plagued with corrupt, nepotistic sit_tight leaders.

Imagine 92 year old Paul biya still clinging on to power as if his life depends on it.

Africa leads in every negative list

Before I read the list I already saw Paul Biya

Man has kept the roonians under his armpit for decades.

Little surprise Mohammed Salah voted for him in their just concluded election.

Some African countries needs to be RECOLONIZED

Nothing like life president of Nigeria

We have far too many powerful tribes and people that would not only object, they will even orchestrate a coup to end the thing

IBB tried life president attempt, and was stopped by a faction in the army. Abacha died before he could start. Obasanjo third term did not get off the ground because he even got opposed from his own party

I even forgot Gowon who was trying to get life presidency stylishly and was removed by Muritala and Obasanjo before he got too far

You expect igbos and hausafulanis to sit down and see tinubu declare himself president for life? Tinubu would be kicked out before he can even start the project. They can even use foul means to get him out self.

Nigeria runs turn by turn for leadership. Even traditional rulers, na turn by turn among select ruling families/houses. If someone tried to violate that principle in Nigeria, e no go succeed

Those are part of the color revolution of Oga Sam dem. Those guys are puppets on some strong. Helping their master to control the destinies of the land and those in it.

France is devil herself

Do these sit-tight African leaders also do foreign conferences and meetings?

My prayer for you is, Tinubu issue to make you leave long.

Almost all of them in Africa are former France colony

some people come to this life to come and rule

Even We in Yorubaland and down to here in Lagos will reject him after 2031.
Perhaps Tinubu is not that greedy.
If you have said, he'll like to be one a godfather, then I can say maybe you have a point. But not handling over after 2031 is a joke taken too far.
Asiwaju till 2031.
