President Bola Tinubu has warned that the rule of law and democratic instruments for resolving electoral disputes must not be allowed to perish in Africa.
The president gave the warning following the military coup in Gabon, which deposed President Ali Bongo on Wednesday.
The president said he is watching the unfolding events in the Central African country and working with other leaders of the African Union to achieve a consensus position on the matter.
Speaking to journalists, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Ajuri Ngelale, who conveyed the president’s position, said president Tinubu affirmed that power belongs to the people and not the barrel of guns.
