In various corners of the globe, leaders have held sway over their nations for extensive periods, shaping political landscapes and sparking debates on governance and democracy. Here’s an exploration of some of the world’s longest-serving presidents and prime ministers, shedding light on their tenures and the contexts in which they operated:………CONTINUE READING

  1. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo – Equatorial Guinea: Seizing power in a 1979 coup, Obiang holds the record as the world’s longest-serving president. His rule has been marked by accusations of human rights abuses and widespread corruption, underscoring the challenges of resource-rich nations under autocratic regimes.
  2. Paul Biya – Cameroon: Biya has held the presidency since 1982, maintaining a tight grip on power amidst allegations of electoral manipulation and suppression of dissent. His tenure has seen significant challenges, including civil unrest and ongoing conflicts.
  3. Denis Sassou Nguesso – Republic of the Congo: Serving non-consecutive terms since 1979, Sassou Nguesso’s leadership has been tainted by allegations of corruption and human rights violations, despite the country’s oil wealth.
  4. Hun Sen – Cambodia: As prime minister since 1985, Hun Sen is one of the world’s longest-serving leaders. His rule has been criticized for authoritarian tendencies, although Cambodia has experienced economic growth under his leadership.
  5. Yoweri Museveni – Uganda: In power since 1986, Museveni initially brought stability and economic growth to Uganda but has faced growing criticism for undemocratic practices and attempts to extend his rule through constitutional amendments.
  6. Robert Mugabe – Zimbabwe: Ruling from 1980 until his ousting in 2017, Mugabe’s presidency saw Zimbabwe’s descent into economic collapse and political repression, highlighting the pitfalls of liberation leaders evolving into autocratic rulers.

These leaders, among others like Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan, Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea, and Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, have maintained firm grips on power for decades, raising questions about governance, democracy, and the concentration of power. Their legacies, both positive and negative, continue to shape their nations’ trajectories and global perceptions of leadership.

Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, has rejected assertions that he is breaching a zoning agreement that would supposedly limit Ebonyi North senators to one term. Addressing claims from his APGA challenger, Chief Chikadoli Ojimba, who recently called for him to step down, Senator Nwebonyi stated there is no constitutional or political mandate requiring him to abandon his 2027 reelection bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking to the press in Abakaliki on Sunday, the Senator pointed to the precedent set by former Governor Sam Egwu, who successfully served two terms in the Senate, to argue that the alleged one-term policy lacks binding authority. Highlighting his own constituency initiatives and record, Nwebonyi stated he faces no serious competition for his seat and emphasized that public service should be defined by sacrifice rather than personal gain.

Additionally, the Senator expressed strong support for the APC’s prospects in Ebonyi State and lauded President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure development in the South-East. He further praised Governor Francis Nwifuru as a unifying leader, dismissing rumors of friction within the Izzi clan and calling on stakeholders to prioritize the state’s collective development over divisive politics.

This parade honored a league victory confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year championship drought. During the event, fans were seen climbing trees and rooftops to see Mikel Arteta’s squad as the players showcased the Premier League trophy. The procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women’s team, winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup this past February.
