The renaissance of Africa will come if we get leadership right by perfecting the law of process by which leaders are chosen

— Goodluck E. Jonathan (@GEJonathan) April 21, 2016

Today more African leaders are being empowered or disempowered by the people directly thru free and fair elections.

When leaders are selected thru credible elections they have the legitimacy and moral courage to make bold decisions pic.twitter.com/NMoUdh9ja6

For elections to be credible leaders must value the process over the products of that process, and citizens must trust the electoral body

African leaders must always be ready to rise to the occasion by planting trees whose shade they may never enjoy

As the process of strengthening our democratic institutions continues the future of Africa is indeed bright. I see a bright Africa tomorrow
