Gabon: I’m Not Surprised, Expect More Coups – Fani-Kayode Warns

 

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode  has reacted after soldiers staged a coup in Gabon.

 

Recall that the soldiers on Tuesday ousted President Ali Bongo after he was re-elected for a third-term on Saturday.

 

The top army officers made the announcement on Tuesday.

 

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

 

However, Fani-Kayode in a post via his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, stated that people should expect more coups in the Francophone countries of West and Central Africa.

 

He 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.
