Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo says Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa seized power through a military coup that toppled his predecessor Robert Mugabe in 2017.
This came yesterday as he helped the launching of the book Democracy works authored By Tendai Biti.
Meanwhile, the State media reports that the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) yesterday foiled an attempt by MDC-Alliance deputy chairman Mr Tendai Biti to smuggle copies of his book, Democracy Works, without paying import duties.
The book was co-authored with former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, Greg Mills of the Brenthurst Foundation and Jeffrey Herbst, the president of the American Jewish University.
The incident happened at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport ahead of the book's official launch at Sapes Trust resulting in delays of the proceedings.
