The Federal Government of Nigeria has condemned in its entirety the attempted coup d’etat reported in the early hours of 25th November, 2022 in Sao Tome and Principe.
This is just as the government said it stands in solidarity with the democratically elected government of the country.
The Spokesperson, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Francisca K. Omayuli (Mrs) who made this known in a statement released Sunday in Abuja, called on the good people of São Tomé and Principe to lend necessary support to the newly elected government of Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada, in its efforts to address the challenges bedeviling the country and leverage on the gains of democracy for the good of its populace.
According to the statement, “The Government of Nigeria will continue to support the African Union’s position, upheld by the various Regional Economic Communities that coups d’état in Africa will not be condoned”, Omayuli noted.
