When Obafemi Awolowo was sked why he would like to be president of Nigeria,then in 1979, he gave his reason as desire for beneficial power. It was not about him; it was of being of benefit to the Nigerian mases.
-- For some politician s perhaps what they have been aiming for is what they understood or craved for as kids to play the leader. Role playing rather than responsibility
i would mention two politicians who at the age of 16 have had the ambition to be prime minister of Britain and they were disasters perhaps because at 16 their conception of responsibility was not well develop and perhaps that's what they took into number 10 downing street office of the British prime minister
