The presidential inauguration ceremony in Liberia took an unfortunate turn as newly elected 79-year-old President Joseph Boakai faced health challenges and couldn’t complete his speech.
A video circulating online shows President Boakai struggling during his speech, prompting concerns about his health and ability to fulfill the demands of the presidency.
This incident has reignited discussions about the age of African leaders and the need for a generational shift in governance.
Critics argue that older leaders may hinder progress, and the younger generation is increasingly vocal about their desire for change.
The incident at Boakai’s inauguration highlights the importance of fostering an environment for a seamless transfer of power.
