Omokri claimed that military coups are rare in countries with presidential term limits and rampant in those nations without term limits.
Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has broken his silence after three African Presidents reshuffled top military positions in their countries.
This followed the latest coup in Gabon that ousted President Ali Bongo.
President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, on Wednesday made major changes to the country’s Ministry of Defence, while the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, approved the retirement of top military generals and senior officers as well as junior soldiers.
Also, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda shuffled 35 military leaders following the coups in Niger Republic and Gabon.
Reacting to the development in a X post, Omokri said the three presidents are taking panic measures to remain in power for a long time.
He wrote: “Yesterday, President Paul Biya of Cameroon reshuffled his military command. On the same day, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda approved the retirement of 924 military officers. President Yoweri Museveni just shuffled 35 military leaders. Collectively, the three of them have been in power for 91 years (Biya 41, Museveni 37, Kagame 13).
“Instead of these panic measures, is it not better for African leaders to accept and respect term limits?
“Military coups are rare in countries with Presidential term limits and rampant in those nations without term limits. Do the math!”
