The FG, in a statement on Thursday by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,  Francisca Omayuli  said: “This unconstitutional change of government is unacceptable in a time where concerted efforts are being made to stabilize the sub-region and uphold the principles of democracy and good governance.”
