        Despite your flaws, you still have a listening ears. The peoples president, you once again respected the opinion and voice of your people. Your resignation was indeed honourable!

        From the Egyptian Uprising to oust Mubarak to the debut - more coming soon - of a sitting President loosing an election in Nigeria, We now have a President resigned. I see the African masses are slowly realising the power they possess.

        The power of the people can not be over emphasized in a democracy. If incompetent and corrupt leaders are called back home, anyone seeking public office will know that he is answerable to the people and not to moneybags. #OfficeOfTheCitizen

        Like Thabo Mbeki, like Jacob Zuma. Is this the ANC of Nielson Mandela, Oliver Thambo, Papa Tutu & co?

        Zuma was not a dictator dude😂😂 Don't mistaken our situation with that of Zimbabwe. In this country if you refuse to leave office, you'll leave handcuffed.
