Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has expressed his reaction to the recent coup in Gabon, which occurred following an alleged fraudulent election.
Gabonese President, Ali Bongo, was deposed by the military shortly after winning the presidential election.
Soldiers appeared on national television to announce that they had taken power, while also annulling the election and dissolving the democratic government.
Bongo, who has been in power since 2009, won a third term in an election that was heavily disputed by the opposition.
Fani-Kayode stated that he is not surprised by the coup and predicted that more coups may occur in Francophone countries in West and Central Africa.
He wrote on Twitter, “Another coup has taken place in Africa and this time it is in the nation of Gabon.

“I am not suprised that this has happened and we should expect more coups in the Francophone countries in West and Central Africa.
“I wonder whether ECOWAS or the African Union will threaten to invade Gabon too?”
He also questioned whether ECOWAS or the African Union would intervene in Gabon, as they did in Niger Republic.
