Please help me launch a campaign to make the current president of the Confederation of African Football, Mr. Ahmad Ahmad: The African Leader of the Year 2019. His steadfast defiance of a passé modus operandi in favor of a future of respect for Africa is sine qua non to a continent – Africa, most of us dream, espouse and crave for, but are unable to change because of some feeble, gullible and primitive leaders we call leaders eschew reason for greed. He transcends a generation of leaders who would not kill its ilk to fuel full employment in the West. A West that would never cease calling us …”those Africans” Taking away the Republic of Cameroun’s privilege to host the 2019 African Cup of Nations puts him on a pedestal of the type of leaders Africa needs. Mr. Ahmad Ahmad is a symbol of courage and defiance of the status quo. Please make him Man of the Year.
