Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said he was not surprised about the occurrence.

Taking to his X account (formerly known as Twitter), the former Minister wrote, “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.

“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?”

LEADERSHIP reports that the military announced a coup in Gabon, deposing President Ali Bongo, who was declared winner of Saturday’s election.

The top army officers made the announcement on Tuesday morning.

The officers said they were annulling the outcome of Saturday’s election, which the opposition had rejected and described as “fraudulent”.
