Coup: "I wonder if the African Union or ECOWAS will also threaten to invade Gabon." – FFK Speaks

Taking to his official Twitter account, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a prominent figure in the APC and former Ation Minister, expressed his curiosity regarding the possible responses of ECOWAS and the African Union to the recent military coup in Gabon. This coup resulted in the removal of President Ali Bongo, who was democratically elected. Chief Fani-Kayode’s tweet serves as his reaction to the unfolding events.

The background to Chief Fani-Kayode’s tweet involves the recent military coup in Niger, which drew concerned reactions from both the African Union and ECOWAS. These regional bodies responded firmly to the ousting of President Bazoum, vowing to restore stability in Niger. Chief Fani-Kayode seems to draw a comparison between the reactions to the Niger coup and the current situation in Gabon.

In his tweet, Chief Fani-Kayode points out the unfortunate recurrence of coup events in African countries. He specifically mentions Gabon, where President Ali Bongo was forcefully removed. Expressing his lack of surprise, he suggests the possibility of more coups occurring in Francophone countries across West and Central Africa. The central theme of his tweet is his contemplation of whether ECOWAS and the African Union will respond similarly and consider intervention in the Gabon coup situation, mirroring their actions in the Niger case.

Chief Fani-Kayode’s tweet reflects his recognition of the recurrent pattern of coups in African nations and his query about whether ECOWAS and the African Union will react in a comparable manner to the coup in Gabon, as they did in the Niger incident.
