Mark Rutte: How The Prime Minister Of Netherlands Handed Over Power- Pictures by attackgat(op): 10:53pm On Mar 23

Mark Rutte holds the record as the longest serving Prime Minister of Netherlands. He became Prime Minister in 2010 and handed over to Dick Schoof in 2024, after a coalition led by Schoof won elections

But how Mark Rutte handed over is a lesson for African leaders. In July 2024 after winning elections, Schoof arrived at the Prime Minister's Office in The Hague for handover. Schoof and Rutte signed the handover documents, displayed the documents for the press to take pictures, after which Mark Rutte came out of the building, got on his bicycle, waved to the New Prime Minister and his aid, they waved back, and Mark Rutte cycled away to his house after 14 years in power. The whole thing did not take up to 15 minutes

Mark Rutte is now Secretary General of NATO.

YOU AFRICANS ARE SO EASILY FOOLED BY SURFACE NONSENSE.

WHILE HE'S RIDING ON THAT BICYCLE HE'S PROBABLY SIGNED OFF SOME MONEY TO FUND REBELS IN CONGO TO COMMIT GENOCIDE SO THEY CAN STEAL MINERALS.

RUBBISH.

SOON SWITZERLAND'S OWN LEADER WILL COME OUT WITH HIS OWN BICYCLE.

MEANWHILE HIS COUNTRY'S FAMOUS ''SWISS BANKS'' ARE THE HOME OF PROBABLY HALF THE WORLD'S STOLEN WEALTH WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RETURNING BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF THOSE COUNTRIES.

BUT HE COMES OUT WITH A NICE SMILE RIDING A HUMBLE BICYCLE AND GULLIBLE AFRICANS BE LIKE ''AWWW, WHAT AN ANGEL....IF ONLY OUR LEADERS COULD BE AS HUMBLE AND HONEST AS THIS WHITE ANGEL ON HIS BICYCLE''..🙄🙄

You people just talk without thinking. Only leaders are involved in the development of a "model society" abi?

Well-calibrated, disciplined and law-abiding ordinary people are not required to achieve this "model society" ba?

If it was Nigeria, billions will be brought out for fanfare, parties, hiring huge arenas, useless long speeches, guard of honour, press conferences, Billboards, printed shirts, musicians, loud speakers, noise everywhere, the list is endless

This is what is called proper handover. Just show up, handover and go. No long talk

SHUT UP.

HAVE AMERICAN POLITICIANS YOU WORSHIP GOT ''A LONG WAY TO GO''?

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW FLAMBOYANT AND OSTENTATIOUS THEIR HANDOVER IS?

Do you know Nigeria is still LEARNING in that department?

DID TRUMP RIDE OFF ON A BICYCLE AFTER HIS INAUGURATION?

Will his FAT FRAME not CRUSH a bicycle if he sits on it?

WAS IT NOT A 'BEAST' CAR IN A $100 MILLON FLEET OF BULLET-PROOF 'BEAST' CARS, AS THEY ARE CALLED, IN A 100 CAR CONVOY?

WHEN YOU SEE ONE WHITE COUNTRY (Netherlands) DOING SOMETHING YOU LIKE, YOU INSTANTLY APPLY IT TO ALL WHITE COUNTRIES.

DOES RUSSIA DO ANY HANDOVER AT ALL?

NO?

IS RUSSIA NOT THE BIGGEST AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN EUROPE?

DO THEY PRACTICE DEMOCRACY AND HAND OVER POWER RIDING BICYCLE LIKE NETHERLANDS?

NO?

IS HUNGARY NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY VIKTOR ORBAN?

IS BELARUS NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY LUKASHENKO?

IS TURKEY NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY ERDOGAN?

IS AZERBAIJAN NOT A DICTATORSHIP LED BY ILHAM ALIYEV?

HAS HE HANDED OVER POWER WITH BICYCLE, OR IS HE BUSY JAILING DISSIDENTS AND HOUNDING JOURNALISTS?

DON'T EUROPEANS HAVE A ''LONG WAY TO GO''?

PROGRAMMED PEOPLE.

Well, he is a good leaders. In good leadership, if you compare with Tinubu, he is a god and Tinubu is a peasant.

You can see that they are open minded and not scared of been mobbed. System is organized, people are decent and mannered, no thugs in their streets and no NURTW criminality and it's not a forceful environment where police from a particular tribe beat up a paramilitary civil defense because of owomida

Nigerians truly can't be saved

Basic123:
Have you seen any governor really criticizing him?.Also,most non partisan pundits like OKONJO IWEALA,SOLUDO,LAMIDO SANUSI hardly speak ill of Tinubu or condemn his policies.
Most attack on Tinubu only come from people he either defeated in APC primary or at the general elections and thier supporters,which reflects the fact that the critism is either just formalty or out of hate&jealousy!

We are grateful but not stupid.
You can decide to do both for all you care.
