President Muhammadu Buhari has declaimed
against the detention of the interim president, the
prime minister and other ministers of the
transitional government of Burkina Faso in an
apparent coup d’etat.
Michel Kafando
PM News reports that the president condemned the
coup in a statement made by his special adviser on
media and publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday,
September 18.
According to it, Buhari and the federal government
align with ECOWAS, the African Union and the United
Nations in rejecting “the brazen contravention of the
constitution and transitional charter of Burkina Faso
by elements of the Presidential Guard under the
leadership of General Gilbert Diendere”.
The president called on the defense and security
forces of Burkina Faso to keep faith with the agreed
transitional programme for the return of the country
to full democratic rule after elections, which were
due to be held on October 11.
Following the news that the interim president,
Michel Kafando, was freed, Buhari also demanded
the immediate release of Prime Minister Isaac Zida
and other detained ministers.
“Nigeria will give the fullest possible support to
ongoing efforts by the ECOWAS mediatory team of
President Macky Sall of Senegal and President Boni
Yayi of Benin Republic to quickly restore Burkina Faso
to the path of order, democracy and constitutionalism.”
“The president urges the people of Burkina Faso to
remain calm and steadfast in support of the transitional
order, elections and democratic governance with the
full assurance that Nigeria, ECOWAS and the
international community will uphold their right to
peace, freedom, democracy and good governance,” the
statement read.
