Tinubu slams Africa’s coups, dictatorial regimes at UNGA

President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria slammed the spate of military coups and dictatorial regimes in Africa on Tuesday, saying they are wrong and unreflective of the collective aspirations of Africans.

He said the pervasiveness of coups indicates “a demand for solutions to perennial problems” and does not imply Africa’s support for an unconstitutional change of government.

Tinubu said this in his maiden address to his counterparts during the ongoing debate at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, USA.
