Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti state, says he is
happy with the coup that has taken place in Gabon, a country in Central Africa.
On Wednesday, the military in Gabon seized power and deposed
President Ali Bongo who was just re-elected to a third term in office.
The election was reportedly fraught with irregularities.
Speaking on Hard Copy, a Channels Television programme on Friday, the former governor wondered why one individual would hold power for so long.

“I am very happy with what happened in Gabon. I don’t like
military incursions in politics but I want to say to you that Nigeria is
different, we have a reasonably stabilised democracy,” Fayose said
“We have our flaws but you can see the uninterrupted
democratic process. After four years there will be an election… Nigeria has
gone from one party to another party.
“One person to another person within a space of time. But in
a country where one man is spending 30, 40 years. You have to boot him out of
the place in whatever way.
“That’s different from the Nigerian setting. Nigeria has
submitted but we are not there yet in the final order.”
Fayose said the military incursion should pave the way for a democratic system in the country.
