Should Bingu Wa Mutharika step down or not?

Last week, President Bingu Wa Mutharika of Malawi was asked to relinquish presidency within sixty days, or call for referendum. Is the economy virus Malawi has right now entirely Bingu fault? Do you think he should step down or not? First of all, I'm not really that much into this Bingu guy, but it would be untrue to say he has been a bad leader. The truth is, he did brilliantly in his first term as president. Even the blind can see how he has beautifully transformed our warm heart of Africa. And I believe credit should be given where it's due... Having said that, I'm afraid things are no longer the ok in the newly beautifully transformed Malawi. Far from ok. The economy has hit rock bottom and there's just no joy. People are struggling to make ends meet, it's not a joke any more. But who is to blame for all this suffering, Bingu? Because he is head of state? I'm sorry but I don't agree with such unjust accusation! One thing every citizen of Malawi should do before cursing or blaming the president for fuel or forex shortages is to remind themselves that we are face to face with an outrageously gloomy global recession. It's every where. It hasn't spared any nation. And the poorest African countries like Malawi are unfortunately at the receiving end of the adversity. It's no one's fault! However, contrary to what I've said above, I strongly think Bingu was a bit unwise to have had that tiff with the British financial donors. He might have been right in whatever the argument, but I still think he should have kept his cool for the sake of his people. In other words, Bingu should have known better where his bread is buttered... And should he step down as president? I think he should! Not because he has failed, no. He should step down and show the world he's not one who would cling to power when not wanted. He should step down to prove to Malawi as a whole that he isn't a greedy autocrat he's been painted to be. He should step down for the love of his nation, let others try and see if it makes a difference. That's what true democrats do!
