““Jonathan Reveals: Guinean President Invited Military to Take Over — ‘It Was No Coup’”


https://punchng.com/guinea-bissau-military-takeover-is-ceremonial-coup-jonathan/

Jonathan said he wouldn't call it a coup because the president announced it before the military.

Did he know if it was under duress, blackmail or coercion? This man is always dull

drawingbook:
He would rather hand over to a military person from his religion and ethnic group than hand over to the winner of the election who is from another ethnic group. Thats what its all about. Same mentality his people have over here as well. If we are not on top then we make the country ungovernable. Too bad

Protecting their own regardless of their atrocities and the superiority complex of not seeing another worthy of taking over power from them is one thing you can never take away from a Fulani man. Old or young, educated or illiterate, this core idealogy is ingrained in their DNA. We can act politically correct all we want, but the truth remains the truth.

This is why I said it here on Nairaland, when I saw their sons as top guys in defence/security when Tinubu made his appointment, that insecurity will only get worse.

It is also why I laughed at anyone advising Obi to support Atiku with the hope that he will hand over power to him. Atiku, if elected, will handover to another Fulani man, specifically El Rufai or Kwankwaso.

Thank God ooo.


I for enter Guinea to see my babe wey I meet for Facebook last week .

Gbam Coup happened. Wetin I for tell momsy say na kpekus carry me enter wahala

Thank goodness I still get some babe and tetmosol wey I go use hold bosy until things normalize

Wetin Nnamdi Kanu told his wife that carry him to Kenya?

You can not be the first person

AndroBlaze:
Goodluck, with your PHD, you opened your mouth to say it was not a coup....chai.

Person lose election, handover to khaki and we are speaking English.

Imagine if Trump had done this after he lost to Biden, or even if you Jonah had handed over to Minimah your kinsman after Buhari beat you?

A coup against democracy is a coup, simple.

He said ceremonial coup but your hypocrisy left that out

African leaders will never cease to amaze me with their greed to hold on to power!
Someone saw an imminent defeat he could not stomach; he called his boys in uniform to take over power. A clear case of, ”if I can't get it, no one else should”!

You just want to type, with almost nothing in your head. Same GEJ called it a ''ceremonial coup'' because of how different it is from the usual coup but yeah rant on.

gosmoney:
Rufia was too quick to accused tinubu of abandoning Jonathan dat it was another country dat came to rescued Jonathan and calling tinubu all such of names with his big mouth like some tutu looks like

Too quick ... should he have waited till month end ... becos you salary earners no dey reason best time pass Month end 🤣

Gej was stranded to the point cote d'ivoire had to step in ... thats not "late" to you

If Nigeria govt is pro active or prompt for once in there life will they die,. the General lost his life waiting on govt/military

Ttalk:
African leaders are so backward, you called military to take over because you lost an election

Exactly what happened based on Jonathan's observations 💯

Oga mechonu jare ! a coupe that resonate the interest of a sitting president is not a coupe in real sense, GEJ even said lets call it ceremonial coupe" he raised logical question

In history of coup tell us were the dethroned President will be the one announcing Military take over, Niger president is till in jail,

A coup that no blood was shedded, nobody is even in prison that one naa coupe ...lets use our head e add up

this man is very eloquent, we really miss this intelligent man , since he left the seat of power we have been ruled by first a cattle rearer that reads cartoons first thing in the morning and now a confirmed dug lord and addict . may God save Nigeria

How you quickly forgot the corruption, rights abuses and impunity perpetrated during GEJ administration is not a surprise to me, bcoz I've always known you Nigerians to have a short memory.

Additionally, y'all are notorious for deliberately ignoring the crime committed against you but would rather praise your oppressors bcoz of expectation of crumbs you might benefit from them. 😒

ernieboy:
arrested by who?

That's not the point. Of course, they can't be arrested now – since those charged with defending the constitution have chosen to betray their oaths and become bandits. That's why I said OUGHT TO be arrested. What ought to happen now is the Army arrests the president for coup plotting, declares the election results, and swears in the winner.

ngmgeek:
Similar to what happened in the last Nigerian presidential election. We all knew who won that election and that's why God is punishing many people who are in denial or hiding the truth.

See your lives?

You speak like a dull person.

Image123:
When we say GEJ is clueless. This was the man arguing that stealing is not corruption, right? The man is said to have a PhD too. Why did they airlift you then, or what kind of logic is this?

I forgave him the first time, but after he went on air to defend that statement, ' stealing is not corruption ', I gave up on GEJ.

Ttalk:
African leaders are so backward, you called military to take over because you lost an election

The guy is a retired brigadier general

Mrexcell:
What's even the fuse and fears all about? The military coup plotters are not that stupid to harm a personality like jonathan a whole former president of nigeria that's surely a declaration of war if they try such.

Do you actually think Nigeria would lift a finger if the coup plotters had arrested or harmed GEJ...dey play. 😏

Which declaration of war are you yapping when to ordinarily tackle internal insecurity has become rocket science.

it's you that is clueless. Take sometime out without myopic reasoning and research the meaning of corruption and thief paste your findings here.

Nijaforward:
Let’s hope Tinubu will not do the same thing in 2027 because he is too desperate too

Hope is never a good strategy when it comes to financial/economic management and elections/governance. The people have to be resolute in their desire for a meaningful change and growth.

Majority of the people have to speak with one voice with their votes, not the way most of you sell your votes to criminals for a cup of rice and 2k.

This is coming to naija also soon.

Blackdisciple:
Person just explained to you wetin happen for Guinea while he was present there you still dey argue with what he said you think if it was the same military coup that took place in other parts of West Africa countries the president and some of his top officials wouldn't have been kept on house arrest..? Would the president be making an announcements ..? But you know say tinubu can never be like GEJ na...

It was a birthday party that took place then, or a communion service.

Lolz ,gej corruption is a child play to APC 210 trillion stolen between just 2017 to 2023, now consider how much apc has stolen altogether from 2015 2025

Dogalmighty17:
I stopped taking Rufai seriously when I saw him drive a cyber truck. I don't know how much Arise pays him but I know damn well it is not enough to buy that car.

Did he tell you he owned it?!
Or you think everyone is fantastically corrupt like Tinubu?!

poseidon12:
You are talking about different issues. The Nigerian election that ushered in Tinubu was clearly rigged. It was obvious that Tinubu didn't win the election. Yakubu Mahmoud's INEC were manually writing results. Tinubu's FG sponsored thugs were openly threatening and attacking voters. Yes, in a normal society, the military should have stepped in to save democracy.

•
The problem most of you Nigerians have is that the education y'all acquired is not functional. You're referred to as civilians bcoz you're expected to be civilised, even in your conduct, but it appears reverse is the case.

What's the need for military intervention when a civilised people conduct themselves accordingly??

With all the so called educated masses, academicians and scholars in Nigeria, would you say we're civilised?

Obi is a fraud and will never be president if Nigeria. Take it or leave it.

MrSly:
The same way Yoruba preferred a drug dealer as president to a person who has clean slate. That was the reason for all these military coup. Other countries had been keeping calm. But since tinubu coup usurped power through civilian coup and yet there were no sanctions from international communities other African countries had nothing to fear and so they proceeded with their coup unabated.

Buhari almost did the same thing because of his disdain for civilian rule. In the alternative, anything that will not retain power in the north was unacceptable. That was why later they were shopping for puppets in amaechi and ahmed lawal rather than tinubu. Thank God for using Aisha buhari, akeredolu and co they have sabotage Tinubu successfully already. Osinbajo will not be their puppet so he refuse to support him despite that osinbajo was the face of his acceptability in the south during the election In 2015. That buhari is proper evil fanatic.

You are absolutely right, Buhari was the most clueless and wicked president Nigeria ever had.

[quote author=Ttalk post=137631875]Rufai Oseni is a bitter journalist, an armchair journalist who talk based on sentiment and not factual. Hear Jonathan speech now should make Rufai be ashamed of himself, but that guy has no shame.

Would Nigeria's reactional time been the same if they needed to extract TINUBU in the same circumstances?.

Is GEJ less a VIP to TINUBU?.
Why the speeches and dilydallying before action is taken on what to do in that dire situation ?.
Quattara acted swiftly and is the hero of that situation. 💪
GEJ was just being DIPLOMATIC in his comments. Pay no excess attention to that.

There you have your answer

Since this democratic dispensation. I agree

Sapeleboy911:
Na them sabi, their headache, bandits are running us local here, we pray they don't overthrow the current government.

Honestly, as long as Jonathan is safe, I don't give a damn about on Banana Republic.

Is it not the same country that produced the great King Ebang?

Kdon2:

Yes, sure
We've not really had true and patriotic leaders
