TITOBIGZ:
How about dos that wants 2 DIE THERE @ 73.

HtwoOw:
Why is this news?

Obasanjo, handed over peacefully, even the interim government handed power to Democratic government peacefully , so what's the purpose of this post?

Henry240:
Thabo Mbeki and Nelson mandela do not apply, they transferred power to their party members, members of the ANC.


If you add Mandela and Thabo Mbeki, then Abdulsalami Abubakar, Olusegun Obasanjo deserve to be in the list.

HAH:
GEJ was defeated fair and square, if he had tried any gra gra the gbagbo treatment would have been his destiny, it was the fear of such treatment that made him hand over peacefully not any love for democracy.

Do you people know the threat that was given to him by US and the UK incase he mishaved? And even without the threat from US the citizen would have revolted and it will be bloody, so GEJ leaving power without any acrimony on his side was for his own good

Blessedward:

Fit2Rule:
And great thing we are reaping the dividends of the change together. US and UK threatened him? So they already knew the elections would be rigged against GEJ? How shameful! Karma is such a bit.ch to say the least.
Hope you've heard that DJ Trump is the US next CIC?

Bigcake:
All these to discredit GEJ? OP you are a dunce: for the records, all other Countries mentioned are purely insignificant and at such are considered to be Underdogs:

Your mention is too stupid to be dignified with a response, but for the sake of dodomis like yourself kindly point out where the thread stated opposition and to further display your ignorance, Interim government could have sat on the administration, military administration could have continued and that's more serious than handing over to opposition party
