Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has spoken with President Bola Tinubu on the phone, saying the promotion and protection of constitutional democratic governance on the continent remains a paramount priority.

This comes hours after a group of Gabonese military officers appeared on television announcing they were “putting an end to the current regime” and cancelling Ondimba’s election.

The Senior Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, made this known while addressing State House correspondents in Abuja.

According to Ngelale, the Canadian leader spoke with Tinubu on the crisis in Niger Republic and the unfolding situation in Gabon.
