One of Nigeria’s former Minister of Ation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has said that people should expect more Coups in Francophone countries that are situated in Central Africa.
According to DAILY POST NIGERIA, Chief Fani-Kayode said he is not surprised about the military take over of power in the Central African nation.
Fani-Kayode said this in reaction to the coup d’etat that took place in Gabon after some top Gabonese military officers announced the take over of power from President Ali Bongo.
According to the soldiers, they were annulling the last presidential election that saw the president being elected for the third consecutive time. They made their stand known on Tuesday.
The soldiers alleged that the result of the presidential election was not credible and that the nation’s opposition party even terms it as fraudulent.
Taking to his social media account on X, formally known as Twitter, Chief Fani-Kayode said his is not surprised about the Gabonese coup.
He tweeted “Sadly another coup has taken place in Africa. This time it is in the nation of Gabon where President Ali Bongo (pictured below) has been removed from power.
“It appears that the warning I gave in my last essay, titled ‘Does Killing Nigerien Babies Bring Glory To Our Name?’, was prophetic.
“I am not surprised that this has happened and frankly we should expect more coups in the Francophone countries of West and Central Africa for the reasons I stated in that essay.
“I wonder whether ECOWAS or the African Union will threaten to invade Gabon too?”
