Goodluck Jonathan Compares Guinea Bissau Coup to 2015 Election Loss
Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has described the recent military coup in Guinea Bissau as more painful than his 2015 election loss to President Muhammadu Buhari. Jonathan, speaking in a video interview, expressed his distress over the situation in Guinea Bissau, where a military takeover occurred despite the ongoing presidential and parliamentary elections.
The crisis in Guinea Bissau, which began around 2012, has raised concerns about the democratic process in the country. The coup was announced by President Umaro Sissoco Embal, who declared total control of the government, leading to international condemnation.
Jonathan highlighted the irregularities in the coup announcement and emphasized the need to uphold democratic principles.
