Olusegun Obassanjo, Jerry John Rawlings ... advise Faure Gnassingbé to leave power

The actions of Faure Gnassingbe and his courtiers show that they do not want to make the constitutional and institutional reforms to open Togo to political alternation at the top of the state. Togbé Afede from Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings, Olusegun Obassanjo remind the tenant of the Marina Palace of the need to listen to his people.

The many Togolese who responded to the calls of the opposition parties on 6 and 7 September show that Togolese, the vast majority, are thirsty for freedom, alternation. The determination of the Togolese here and elsewhere originated in the refusal of the power in place that governs them, not to mark the way to the alternation. This makes certain African personalities react.

According to Togbe Afede, president of the Ghana National Chamber of Chiefs, "Togolese need to learn about trends prevailing around the world and Africa in particular. It seems to me that Togo has remained the only undemocratic country in West Africa. "

The former president of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings, said that "the recent threats of the civil war are not surprising. However, the intimidating posture of these comments clearly shows the relevance of the need to avoid escalation beyond this point. "

Olusegun Obassanjo, also former president of Nigeria, goes further and asks Faure Gnassingbé to leave power. According to him, "after twelve, fifteen years, other thirty, African presidents become rare commodities. If you do not leave power, what happens is that power leaves you. "

And to encourage: "Not long ago, President Dos Santos decided to leave power. That other presidents are inspired by his wisdom ".

It is clear that Faure Gnassingbé is under pressure inside and outside. And that it is still time for him and his followers to get into the right dynamic.
