Goodluck Jonathan reveals that what happened in Guinea-Bissau few days ago was not a Military coup, he rather stated that the outgoing president of stage managing the so called Military take over.

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan (GEJ) has sparked a new debate by asserting that the recent turmoil in Guinea-Bissau shouldn’t be labeled a military coup. Instead, he claims it was a situation where the current president invited the military to take charge. Jonathan is also calling on continental organizations to swiftly release the official election results, emphasizing that there was “foul play” during the voting process.

In his comments shortly after the takeover news broke, Jonathan dismissed the idea that these events constituted a military coup. He stated:

The sitting president requested the military to take control.

He believes this move was warranted due to the suppression of the official election results, which he described as stemming from “serious electoral irregularities.”

Jonathan urged the African Union (AU) and ECOWAS to make the complete results public for the sake of transparency, aiming to restore credibility and calm.    Goodluck Jonathan reveals

He pointed out:

“They can’t force the military out — but they must announce the result for the world to know who really won that election.”

In late 2025, Guinea-Bissau experienced highly contested elections, with opposing factions arguing over the official vote count.

The worrying outcome: potential widespread protests and political instability.

Last week, military forces took action, effectively removing the current administration from power. Many international observers quickly labeled this event a coup.  Goodluck Jonathan reveals

As of now, there haven’t been any official, widely accepted results released, which is only adding to the uncertainty and the growing calls for transparency.    Goodluck Jonathan reveals

If Jonathan’s comments hold any truth, they could challenge the traditional understanding of what a “coup” really is, suggesting instead that this was a military intervention prompted by electoral fraud. If this perspective gains traction, it could:

– Weaken support for immediate international sanctions against the military.  Goodluck Jonathan reveals
– Heighten pressure on the AU, ECOWAS, and international observers to disclose data and announce credible election results.
– Ignite discussions throughout West Africa regarding the legitimacy of military interventions in contested elections.

Was there a legitimate invitation? Is there any public or verifiable documentation indicating that the president officially invited the military in?
What about election transparency? Who is in charge of the election tally, and why haven’t the results been published yet?
Looking ahead, will the military simply return power after ensuring transparency, or are they aiming for a permanent takeover?

Numerous civil society groups are demanding complete transparency: they insist that election logs, polling data, and observer reports be released without delay.  Goodluck Jonathan reveals

Regional media is cautioning that ongoing silence and confusion could empower radical factions that thrive on instability.

International partners are keeping a close eye on the situation—any perceived injustice or autocratic actions could jeopardize future aid and diplomatic relations.  Goodluck Jonathan reveals

With former President Goodluck Jonathan openly questioning the narrative of a “coup,” the political crisis in Guinea-Bissau might be on the verge of a significant shift—if only the truth about the takeover and the election can be uncovered. What’s at stake is not just governance, but also regional credibility and democratic stability.

Will the AU and ECOWAS respond to his call? Will the real results ever come to light? Only time—and a commitment to transparency—will reveal the answers.

Meanwhile; UN appeals for $910 Million to help handle humanitarian crisis created by Terror!sm in Northeast Nigeria, there are the issues we keep talking about,

Can Nigeria ever stop recieving this kind of greek gift and focus on solving our problems internally by elected the right leaders not this current thieves occupying top positions looking for loans and free money from left right and center, seriously nothing to offer.  Goodluck Jonathan reveals
