Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called for the cooperation of the United Kingdom, European Union, other international communities, and regional bodies to concretise the efforts against unconstitutional changes of government and deter coup plotters in Africa, IgbereTV reports.
He said this on Monday when he received the United Kingdom’s Minister for Africa, Vicky Ford, and British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing at the Presidential Villa.
“There is a lot of attention being paid to coups d’etat going on, especially in the West African sub-region, I think it is important that we take a closer look at how to prevent and deter coups d’etat and adventurers of various kinds who want to take over governments by force,” he was quoted to have said in a statement signed on Tuesday by his media aide Laolu Akande
