Victor Ngbanda is the current prime minister of Zaïre. A mediocre, lackluster politician, renowned for his colorless, uneventful career, lack of ambition, and wishy-washy, apolitical stances on issues, he was selected prime minister for three reasons: one, he, like President Mobutu, is from the Ngbandi tribe; two, as his career was banal and contributions insignificant, his reputation is free of controversy; and three, he is generally known as a "yes man" who does as he is told, without argument, complaint, or hesitation. He is not stupid, nor is he apathetic, he is merely unmotivated, modest, and free of any desire to attain power. He simply thought politics would be the best path for himself, and chose it accordingly. He is neither an underachiever nor an overachiever. He just does his work, without fear of failure or anticipation of success. He once modestly boasted that, "I speak for all the mediocrities of the world. I am their champion."
