  This time, this impostor has gone too far. I wonder if he's not signing his death contract.

  African Politics: Good or bad news comes in threes. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, 81 years young, Gen Z was last re-elected circa January 2021 for another five-year term.
  
  Ivory Coast's President, Alassane Dramane Ouattara, aged 83, has won a fourth term to serve another five years.
  
  Also, Cameroon President Paul Biya, 92, has been re-elected to serve another five-year term.
  
  Only in Africa, where we come up with these ingenuities as solutions to the human-versus-AI challenge. As for Ghana, we don't have any blueprint for development to 2063, 2075, or 2030. All we know is just short-termism, resetting agenda, waste, over-invoicing, and mismanagement.
  
  Every Ghanaian is corrupt, from the president to the laborer – Ansa-Asare claims. Lawlessness, indiscipline, and corruption are widespread due to a lack of proper formalization, poor record-keeping, and our failure to utilize technology or databases for some order.

  Nobody voted to elect him. He is in full control of all the State organs that do whatever he wants. The last weekend before the vote, he commandeered all the State buses in Abidjan to transport his paid supporters to some venue for a rally while depriving transport means to Abidjan residents on that day. The man is a Burkinabe Houphet Boigny employed to help manage Ivorian economy when they were experiencing difficulties. Although he is good economically, he is so much power drunk that he doesn't blink shedding blood to get and maintain power by any means.

  A true Ivorian won't behave the way this Burkinabe Mossi man is behaving. His drunk for power is what plunged Ivory Coast into a brutal Civil war. He wants to die while President because of the crimes he and his supporters are committing on Ivorians daily in that country. Even though he has developed some parts of the country, especially Abidjan, his brazen crimes against true Ivorians tarnished anything good he has done. His party members go to places like Beaomi and seize people's houses and farmlands claiming the lands belong to them. France is behind this crimes being committed against true Ivorians. He authorizes his party people to distribute Ivorian identity cards to Guineans, Malians and Burkinabes to vote for him in elections while making it very difficult for real Ivorians to obtain their own identity cards.

  There is a moral justification for a coup in Ivory Coast moving forward. Ecowas should not come and make any stuuuupid threats to any military regime supported by the population.
