    There will be no Mugabe dynasty in #Zimbabwe but which African leaders did inherit power from their fathers - and which are planning to keep it in the family?http://bbc.in/2ATHgJr pic.twitter.com/jQDuxrMJub

        Democratic dictators are a reality, they get voted in by a deed of heroism or by selling dreams, then they use institutions, police, military & state money to bribe traditional leaders & 🐑 followers to stay in power!

        As long as governments in #Africa are allowed to bribe kings, chief’s & traditional ‘leaders’ with privilege, gifts & money to influence their sheep 🐑 followers to vote for them, Africa will never reach developed status. Untill its stopped, #kleptocracy will rule Africa!

        Cameroon's @PR_Paul_Biya didn't inherit power from his father but he's seemingly solidifying his grip in power by putting his family in state institutions and offices to safeguard continuance.

        A political dynasty is gradually being constructed one step at a time. Let no one ever feel this much privileged and entitled than another Biya.

        Of course Kenya’s President did not inherit power from his father. His father died in 1978..🙄🙄. Did George Bush inherit power from George Bush senior?
