This paper comes in three dimension. The first is to establish that there are actually problems with leadership recruitment in Africa and to identify some of those challenges. Second, to establish that those problems came as a result of some socio-historical circumstances which also need to be identified and properly situated. The third is to proffer some kinds of mitigation to the problems. Using narrative and historic lens, this paper examines Africa’s challenge towards identifying the basis for the problems associated with presidential emergence in Africa that make it mostly violent, non-peaceful, unsystematic and unacceptable. This paper proffer some kind of suggestions amongst which is the call for the people to re-claim their responsibility and like good business principals; demand to be in-charge rather than continue to leave their businesses in the hands of bad agents.
