Reacting, however, to the latest development, Onanuga, in a post via his Twitter handle, described the coupists as greedy tyrants.

The former media aide to Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrote: “Yet another military coup in Africa. Democracy on a roll back, no thanks to sit-tight, greedy African tyrants.”

CityNews reports that the latest coup in Africa comes amid the move to resolve the removal of a democratically elected president in Niger RepublicMohamed Bazoum.

However, both the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union (AU), which have rejected the coup in Niger, are yet to react to the coup in Gabon as of the time of filing this report.
