Mamadou Tandja has governed the West African nation since 1999 serving two terms. His term is ending and he is requesting for a third term. This request has raised protests and been criticized by internatonal donors. Some supporters believe he has brought economic growth because of the threatened independence.
I feel that not resigning the president in office offers the door for opportunity. Our country had opposed the Bush administration for years God knows what would happen if he was re-elected. Though there are many in disagreement with Obama but he is offering change to our government which this nation needs. I believe there needs to be different leaders for different times so I agree why there are protests with the reelection.
