Because it used to be a French colony, so the French language was present for many years.
Even now, the island of Mayotte in the Comoros archipelago is still under France's jurisdiction and does not belong to the Union of the Comoros, having requested to stay French in a 1974 and 1976 referendum at an overwhelming 99.4% of votes, and requested in another referendum in 2009 to become an oversea department of France in 2011.
Comorian is spoken and common in Mayotte, but is not an official language there.
In the Union of the Comoros, Arabic, Comorian and French are the three official languages across all islands.

∙ 6y agoChad was colonized (or occupied depending on your point of view) in 1920. It gained independence from France in 1960.
Chad speaks French because it was part of the French Empire. The French arrived in many places in Africa (among other places) in search of new Natural Resources and money. When the French left their colonies behind, they split up into many new countries - such as Chad. The French left behind their culture and their language.
Chad was formerly administered by France until 1960. Despite this, far more people in the country speak Arabic and local languages than French; this isn't an unknown pattern in certain countries formerly under French administration, e.g. Algeria, Vietnam etc.
French and Arabic are spoken in Chad.
