Abdoulaye Wade, the decrepit president of Senegal, has just lost the Mo Ibrahim Prize. Having promoted the idea of African Renaissance and built a huge statue in his country to this effect, Wade began to appear as a president who might be different from other African leaders - until now. Now, Wade has discovered that he, too, like other African dictators, is also the savior of his country. He has recently realized that without him, there will be no one to rule his country. So, like all the other dictators, he has decided to extend his stay by seeking a third term in office. This is threatening to throw his relatively peaceful country into chaos. Like all African dictators, he does not care - all he needs is to prolong his stay in power. The man is becoming a disgrace to the continent now. However, there is still time for him to leave without taking his country down the disastrous road that he seems intent upon taking them right now.
