Is President Ali Bongo of Gabon the “Igbo” President? By Jibrin Ibrahim
Posted by Newsdiaryonline

inShare


The French essayist, Pierre Péan is a specialist on Gabon who wrote a book on the French connection and corruption in the country in 1983 called “African Affairs”. His most recent book called “New African Affairs”, which has just been published, contains serious allegations about the Nigerian origins of the Gabonese President, Ali Bongo. He claims that Ali Bongo, previously known as Alain Bongo,was brought from Biafra during the Nigerian civil war and adopted by former President Omar Bongo. It would be recalled that the late Gabonese President Omar Bongo, previously known as Albert-Bernard Bongo. before his conversion to Islam, strongly supported Biafra during the Nigerian civil war. Bongo organised the airlift of numerous children from Biafra during the Nigerian civil war and subsequently gave them out for adoption. Ali Bongo is said to be the one he personally adopted. Gabon, as is generally known has a fertility problem with relatively low birth rate so adoption was a practice that had wide support.

The origin of Ali Bongo has become a major political issue because the Constitution of Gabon is clear that no one born to foreign parents can be president. The Gabonese opposition has therefore picked on the revelations in the book to demand for a DNA test to prove that Ali Bongo is a true son of his purported mother and previous First Lady, Patience Dabany. He has refused to take the test claiming his Gabonese origin is not in doubt. Meanwhile, the police have stopped planned demonstrations by the opposition parties for 13th November and Ali Bongo has sued Pierre Péan for defamation.

One of the key factors fuelling the controversy is that the birth certificate Ali Bongo presented as part of his documentation as presidential candidate in 2009 claims he was born in Brazzaville and named Ali Bongo at birth. Everybody however knows that he was called Alain in his younger days so the birth certificate is obviously fake. Pierre Péan also claims that the 2009 presidential elections were rigged and that the winner of the election was the opposition leader Andre Mba Obame who was denied victory because of his Fang ethnic origin. He also alleges that Ali Bongo was also strongly supported by the French President at the time, Nicolas Sarkozy, who depended on the Gabonese President to finance his re-election campaign with millions of Euros. Nicolas Sarkozy is himself facing numerous investigations by the French judiciary about the allegedly illegal sources of his campaign funds.

Guy abeg, leave story. This is Africa, if them like make them throw stone till the next election, the man go still enter.

which Country will allow Nigerian to rule them.
watch an see he will not drop or resign because he is really Nigerian he rather stay what ever will happen to happen
with the way our leaders are ruling us no any any country will allow to be ruled in that way.
even we that accept them its like we have tune our self to Animals we don't know what we are doing
we allow a group of people that are not more-than 100 to be ruling a nation that is more-than 2b the way they like,
Just because of religion we cant unite and make our country better.
remember those our leader are not after us, they are after money witch they will die and live the money here,
we the ones who allow the leaders to be treating us the way they like and always join our head to fight because of religion and tribes
Now that we have stop fight against religion, that's why they created bokoharam with bomb to make us fight by all means.
my advise is. if possible Nigerians should not go for election, i mean no body will come out to vote anybody, so that the fight riot war that we are thinking in this 2015 will happent in side villa not between them not us, because we are not achieving anything from them,

There are just some unclear issues.

1. What are the names of his parents?

2. Where are his parents from in Nigeria?

3. Is there an English translation of the birth certificate?

So far, I think they have no point. If he has a 'birth certificate' written in French, doesn't that make him a citizen of a 'francophone' country by birth?

Even as I do not understand 'french' inscriptions, the names (proper nouns) written in that certificate are either French (e.g. Dominique) or strange (e.g. Kama, Ndanlangu or so), not English or Nigerian.

Besides, Brazzaville is clearly written on it, which I think is the capital of Congo.

These people are just tagging Nigeria for naught other than selfish purposes. angryangryangry
Oga no country wants a Nigerian as their leader so they won't turn their country to something else. I bet you, if Obama was a Nigerian, nobody would have voted for him, dem dey craze ni?
