Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, has expressed his deep concern over the political development in Gabon with the takeover of government by the military.
The president also bemoaned the sociopolitical stability of the oil-rich Central African country and what looks like an autocratic contagion spreading across different regions in the African continent.
This was made known by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, while speaking to State House correspondents on Wednesday, where he expressed President Tinubu’s belief that the rule of law and a faithful recourse to the constitutional resolution of electoral disputes must not be allowed to perish in Africa.
The reaction from Tinubu is coming a few hours after a group of Gabonese military officers appeared on television Wednesday announcing they were “putting an end to the current regime†and cancelling an election that, according to official results, President Ali Bongo Ondimba won.
This is also coming at a time Nigeria, the Economic Community of West African State (ECOWAS) and the African Union are still battling with the crisis in Niger Republic as a result of the forceful takeover og government by the military.
