Angolan President Hints at Successor Who Can Do ‘Better Than Me’

Angolan President João Lourenço said he’s looking for someone to succeed him at the helm of Africa’s third-biggest oil producer, before general elections scheduled to take place in 2027.

“I think about it every day,” Lourenço said in a television interview late on Tuesday with CNN Portugal. “I think in silence. It’s my duty to think because we can’t leave the country in the hands of just anyone.”
