Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, said he is not shocked by the military takeover in Gabon.
The announcement by Fani-Kayode comes just after the country of Central Africa underwent a coup.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, army officers in Gabon have said the country’s government will be seized following President Ali Bongo’s third term victory on Saturday.
The statement was made on Tuesday by the highest army leaders.

However, Fani-Kayode warned that additional coups should be expected in the Francophone nations of West and Central Africa in a post on his social media network X, formerly known as Twitter.
He wrote, “Sadly another coup has taken place in Africa. This time it is in the nation of Gabon where President Ali Bongo (pictured below) 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.
