It is pretty obvious to anyone studying post-colonial African politics that we have a major issue with transitions of power. I wish I could claim it as one of our African superpowers, like the ability to bring the beat to any genre of music – you’re welcome, world — but, alas! this seems to be a universal human failing.
If you take a snapshot of global affairs today, it is evident that much of the world is being ruled by people — mostly men of a certain age — who are not particularly interested in sharing power.
