Mcheew, have sense kwannuuuuuuu. Have you looked at how long he held power? Did you hear of any scandal about him? Can't you use common sense to see the transparency in government change? How can you even mention Buhari here? Kaai, God help you.

He made the post because of people like you.

Most genuine wealthy people are stupidly humble.

Humility is possible where wealth exist!

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.
Update for APC... To avoid efcc

SHUT UP.

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

HAVE YOU SEEN HOW FLAMBOYANT AND OSTENTATIOUS THEIR HANDOVER IS?

WHEN YOU SEE ONE WHITE COUNTRY 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?

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

PROGRAMMED PEOPLE.
Hungary is not a dictatorship. Viktor Orban's party has won the majority twice in two separate elections

Eee make your politicians sef do fake integrity by riding bicycles make we see. Whenever someone does anything, that's how you people dismiss it as clout chasing - just because you can't do it.

Let's leave whether he did well or not. I'm sure that handover didn't cost up to €1k, but here in Africa it would have cost billions just for a mere handover with the fanfare and paparazzi that will come with it

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''..🙄🙄

You are right. But, it is not about Tinubu alone. No matter what any aspirant claims, these frivolities cannot be changed. We have seen it as a way of life. Our constitution is complicit too and above all, out corruption is engrained.

When saints got voted in on the platform of LP, there is no record of where any one of them rejected the largese thrown at them till date. I am yet to hear of where any of the raised a motion that the official cars for office holders should be INNOSON motors produced locally for a state.

The more you look.......

We like showing people what is right but we will never do what we believe us right when we get to power.

The OP will even do worse if he gets a chance to become a local government chairman.

At least his country is safe, the people are not hungry, so he doesn't need a bulletproof car or productive people guiding his car doing unproductive things. Wish him happy retirement.
Re: Mark Rutte: How The Prime Minister Of Netherlands Handed Over Power- Pictures by middlebelter(m): 9:29am On Mar 24
While I admire the simplicity, I like to state that we operates different types of system. Our's is presidential system, thier is parliamentary. Also where we colonized by UK and our order of protocol can't be exactly the same. They choose bicyle we choose expensive cars. Don't you admire the USA President car and the display of fanfare after inagurration of a president?

Oga, good leader or not at least he didn’t spend $$ millions flying dignitaries, booking hotel, blocking road and stopping economic activities for a hand over. Money that could be used for healthcare, school, feeding programs.

Some of you don’t even understand that if we cut our government waste, Nigeria becomes more easy to govern and half our problems are solved with prudent leadership.
