Ali Bongo daughter congratulates military Junta, imposed transitional leader Brice Oligui Nguema after coup in Gabon.
Malika Bongo Pereira, the daughter of deposed Gabonese president Ali Bongo has posted a congratulatory message to the new military leader on social media.
Malika Bongo Pereira took to Facebook to send felicitations to the new transitional president appointed by the military junta, General Brice Oligui Nguema.
The message is tied to the events of August 30 which saw the formal overthrow of her father, Ali Bongo Ondimba, after 14 years in office.
“Congratulations to the new President of the Transition his Excellency Brice Fence Oligui Nguema #Gabon #transition2023.” Let’s contemplate how Gabon has come since independence.
It is not clear why Malika Bongo Pereira would support the coup having been a key member of her father’s administration.
She posted a message on the same day her father’s former head of presidential guard, General Brice Oligui Nguema, who led the coup was named head of the transition by the junta.
However, on Gabon’s independence day on August 17, she asked citizens to contemplate how far the country has come since independence.

“On this day of national pride, let’s contemplate how Gabon has come since independence. The challenges we have faced and the successes we have won are testament to our resilience and determination.
“As Gabonese, we are the bearers of hope and ambition for our country. Let’s continue our quest for progress, invest in education, innovation and sustainable development. “Happy 63rd independence anniversary to all of us. #gabon #17august #independance,” she wrote on Facebook.
Meanwhile, the deposed Gabonese President, Ali Bongo, has called on his international friends to “make noise” after the military coup.
Bongo confirmed that he had been arrested by the military and separated from his wife and son after the military took over power.
The coup leaders cancelled the August 26 vote and suspended a number of institutions pending reorganization and the announcement of a formal transition period for the Central African oil producer.
