The President, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Tuesday, said the call had become necessary following reports of attempted military takeover in that country.
”The military officers in Gabon should understand that the era of military coups and governments in Africa and indeed worldwide, is long gone.
”Democracy is supreme and the constitutional stipulations on the peaceful change of administration must be respected. That is the only way we can ensure peace and stability not only within the country but also in the region,” the Nigerian leader said.
