Dangagan,

I hold all politicians of whatever country in the same low esteem and have always supported and liked the view of American poet ee cumings:

A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.
e. e. cummings
The rule of succession of the American President and Vice President is clearly defined in the American Constitution amendment XXV. This is not so clear in Nigeria:

GLJ as President, Practicality vs Illegality

Particularly when his predecessor's election was also not deemed to have been free and fair by the majority of the world:

Nigeria Declares Winner in deeply flawed Election

I would also have stated that the ultimate political numpty George 'Dubya' Bush was a so-called (please note, not so called) President after the 'dimpled ballots' controversy in the USA 2000 elections had America's equivalent to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, to whit Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, been declared closed whilst that well-known drunken, Irish-American gay President Barroom O'Bummer retired to the cludger for a Presidential dump over Atlanta en-route to some other American airfield
