The Minority Caucus in Nigeria’s House of Representatives has lent its voice to the condemnation of the trend of military coups in Africa.
A statement by the Leader of the Minority Caucus, Kingsley Chinda, described the development as extremely sad, deeply worrisome, and pathetically shameful and has rolled back the gains of democratic struggles for the return to civil rule of the late 1980s and 1990s.

Chinda, who identified bad governance, inordinate ambitions and outright disconnect from the citizens as the root causes of military incursions, explained that the pain and misery foisted on citizens by sit-tight leaders on hapless citizens, has seen military interventions welcomed and celebrated by citizens of these countries.
He said recent developments on the continent are warning signs of dangers ahead, if not immediately checked, and urged African leaders to always do what is right.
The caucus cautioned against any plan by either the AU, UN, or any global association to use force in restoring democratic governance in Gabon, Niger Republic or any other country on the continent
