“President Tinubu noted that Nigeria, under General Abdulsalami Abubakar, instituted a nine-month transition programme in 1998, and it proved very successful, leading the country into a new era of democratic governance,” presidential spokespersonThe Nigerian leader, who had admitted that he was under pressure to authorise military action in Niger to sack the putschists, said he saw no reason why the Abdulsalami model cannot be replicated in Niger if the coup leaders are sincere.
On 26 July, presidential guards in Niger took over the government, arrested Mr Bazoum and have since detained him.Following the coup, ECOWAS imposed a flurry of sanctions on Niger and asked the junta to reinstate Mr Bazoum or risk a military intervention.
The coup in Gabon was a result of disputed elections that returned Mr Bongo for a third term after 14 years in power.Before Ali Bongo in 2009, his father Omar Bongo was president from 1967 until his death in 2009.
