The government of Gabon declared that it was in control after an attempted coup by army rebels Monday and that it had arrested most of those involved.

“Calm has returned, the situation is under control,” government spokesman Guy-Bertrand Mapangou told AFP.

Only hours earlier, soldiers burst into state radio and called on the people to “rise up,” an apparent bid to oust ailing President Ali Bongo, who is out of the country. Of the five who did this, according to Mapangou, “four have been arrested and one is on the run.”

ANOTHER COUP COULD HAPPEN IN NEAR BY NIGERIA IF PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI MESS UP WITH THE 2019 GENERAL ELECTION

THE KHAKI BOYS ARE STILL HUNGRY FOR POLITICAL POWER NOT MINDING OUR FEW YEARS OF DEMOCRACY.

Kikimiikikiki....


Coup plotters like buhari.



Imagine if buhari was caught, he would have been a forgotten issue


16\4=4

So the coupist weren't well backed sef?


With their political history, I think it would have been a welcome development though

Red alart for Nigeria Beware!

Better they fail than succed

Nigeria still has issues because in January 1966, five misguided jokes organized coup instead of resigning from the army and entering politics to achieve the change they sought.

Democracy is hard work

Nonsense

Stop wishing for bad things.

You did not live under army rule, otherwise you won't be talking like this

If you no like Bubu, work using democracy to throw him out

If you lose, wait 4 years, and try again.

The patient dog gets the fattest bone.

Army rule never ends well

Yes, it was a welcome development when Nzeogwu overthrew that corrupt first republic government..... until we were burying millions of people over the next 4 years.

Yes, it was a welcome development when Bubu threw out Shagari's corrupt government.... until we ended up with 15 extra years of oppresive army rule.

Bad democracy pass best army rule

same thingvwith Buhari , if he had resigned form the military and contested against shagari instead of illegally ousting him Nigeria would have been better

More like we would have had a more mature democratic system, with all the issues ironed out by now.

Instead we have had to start from scratch several times over

You are absolutely right with the points raised, that's why I said with the political history of the country.

I recall same happening with Gambia and Zimbabwe and it worked well eventually.

In this current era, coup is just to dethrone a dictator to hand over to still a democratic dispensation
