“As long as ECOWAS allows fraudulent declaration of election result, there would be coup — George Weah

According to Twitter user @Bethel_Anun, Liberia President George Weah stated, “As long as ECOWAS continues to allow fraudulent declaration of election results and intermittent manipulation of justice, and judiciary, there will always be military coup in Africa.”

He emphasized that it would be nearly hard to oppose military rule without first opposing institutional coups and manipulation.

Concerning African democracy, he stated that democratic institutions have been subjected to various levels of threat by desperate politicians, with no action from ECOWAS.

He said the authority of states and governments in the West African region should fight for the interest of mass.

And any time there’s manipulation in the judicial system, they should also talk in the defense of the African citizens; by so doing, politicians will be devoid from engaging in institutional coups and mismanagement of public funds, thereby preventing military intervention.

Recall that ECOWAS has placed breathtaking economic sanctions on the Niger Republic for a successfully planned coup d’etat that ousted President Mohammed Bazoum from office.

They also maintained that if the coupist failed to reverse their actions within 7 days, there would be a military inversion.

Quoting George Wear well, he advised African leaders to fight injustices surrounding political institutions in the region and allow corrupt politicians to gain access to elective office through election rigging, voter apathy, mass poverty, and vote buying during polls.
