A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Friday, expressed his excitement about the recent coup that happened in Gabon, a Central African country.

A dozen soldiers had appeared on Gabonese national television on Wednesday, announcing the cancellation of election results said to have been won by Ondimba Ali Bongo and the dissolution of “all the institutions of the republic.”

The announcement came after President Ali Bongo, 64, was re-elected for a third term, extending his family’s half-century rule over the oil-rich Central African country of 2.3 million, but the opposition described the poll as a ‘fraud orchestrated’ by the ruling party.
