[@anthonyachukwu1104]

It's not how long but how well that a 4 year term works in Europe doesn't necessarily mean it's a universal standard and must work in Africa. If he is governing well, his people can keep him there to eternity. How long did Europe colonize Africa. Make una park well abeg

Yeah he is the one that Rwandans want to keep leading the country

[@immaculee1320]

He is the only Man who doesn't fear you, in 1994 Government of Rwandese, France, Belgium and many of you were killing people accusing them that they are Tutsi he is the only one who stopped them until now he's our hero, that's why you don't sleep because you fear him

[@mushinzimana1993]

Being election for the fourth or the tenth ,or being in the office for 24 years or 100 years , that's Rwandans decision n, no any other country that could decide for Rwandans

[@immaculee1320]

Western always want to destroy Africa, I can advise them to check for others but Rwanda is untouchable. You are encouraging us to make him leading us until you die with stroke coused by minding others business
