Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the recent military coup in Turkey.

A statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu said Buhari is “deeply saddened by reports of a violent attempt to dismantle constitutional authority and disrupt the democratically elected government of Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey.”

“The removal of a democratic government by force is no longer acceptable. Violence can never solve any problem but only complicates them and sets back the progress of democratic societies," the president said.

"Democracy provides peaceful options of changing governments through the ballot box. The ballot box doesn’t require violence to remove any government perceived to have lost its popularity and public support. Despite its limitations, democracy is still better and more durable than a violent change of government," he added.

He also hailed Turkish President Erdogan for the way he handled the issue.
