The X user said: “Gabon’s new strongman General Brice Oligui Nguema will be sworn in as “transitional president” on Monday, September 4, at the constitutional court, coup leaders said.
“Oligui will “phase in transitional institutions”, Ulrich Manfoumbi Manfoumbi, spokesman for the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI) said on state TV on Thursday, a day after rebel officers overthrew President Ali Bongo Ondimba. No details were given on the duration of the transitional institutions.”
