Gabon: I'm not surprised, expect more coups - Fani-Kayode warns

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode says he is not surprised about the military coup in Gabon.DAILY POST reports that army officers in Gabon have announced seizure of power after the third term re-election of President Ali Bongo on Saturday.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 has been removed from power.

“It appears that the warning I gave in my last essay, titled ‘Does Killing Nigerien Babies Bring Glory To Our Name?’, was prophetic. “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.
