Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has from his London hospital condemned the attempted coup in Niger Republic.
The President through a statement by his media aide Garba Shehu, on Wednesday, said, “Any illegal effort to depose a democratically elected government is not only despicable, but also unacceptable to democratic governments around the world.”
According to the media aide, Buhari spoke with Mahamadou Issoufou, his counterpart and outgoing Nigerien President over the telephone.
Shehu disclosed that the president warned that the international community was hostile to the change of government by violent and unconstitutional means.
”It is utterly naïve to attempt the removal of an elected government by force. Military political adventurers should respect the will of the people and respect constitutional order.
“I’m particularly concerned about the negative impact of coups on Africa’s stability, peace and progress.
“Nigeria cannot be indifferent to these dangers to Africa. Coups are out of fashion and the involvement of the military in violent change of government is doing more harm than good to Africa,” the statement further quoted President Buhari.
Buhari is claimed to be originally from Niger Republic.
