Revealed: Gabonese President Ali Bongo Adopted From Nigeria’s Southeast During Nigeria Civil War

November 13, 2015
PM NEWS, LAGOS

President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon is a Nigerian of the ethnic Igbo stock, adopted by a former leader of the country during the Biafran war.

This startling revelation is about to be revealed as a court in western France Thursday allowed a family member of Ali Bongo Ondimba to view the birth certificate of the leader after accusations that he lied about where he was born.

With next year’s presidential elections approaching, controversy has been brewing over Ali Bongo’s place of birth with critics saying he falsified his birth certificate to hide the fact that he was adopted from another country.

If the allegations prove true, it could keep him from running for another term and cost him his wealth.

The court in Nantes allowed 25-year-old Onaida Maisha Bongo Ondimba, a daughter of former president Omar Bongo, to view the documents in full.

Her lawyer Eric Moutet hailed the decision as “enormous”, though “diplomatically complex”.

Ali Bongo is the only one of ex-president Omar Bongo’s 54 declared heirs not to have produced the identification documents.

Ali Bongo assumed the presidency following the 2009 death of his father Omar Bongo, who had presided over the west African nation and its oil and mineral wealth since 1967.

The Gabonese constitution says one must be born Gabonese to serve as the head of state, but French investigative journalist Pierre Pean alleged in a recent book that the president was actually Nigerian and was adopted during the Biafran war in the late 1960s.

Bongo himself claims he was born in Brazzaville in 1959, former capital of French Equatorial Africa.

The Nantes civil registration centre is responsible for all birth certificates of people born in French Equatorial Africa up to 1960, when the former colonial countries in the region gained independence to become Gabon, Congo, Chad and the Central African Republic.

Ali Bongo announced in late August that he would give “all his share of the inheritance” from his father to “the Gabonese youth” in a speech marking the 55th anniversary of independence.

Hausa 1: Igbo 1. Ojoro cancel?

This is looking very interesting. Is it just mere coincidence or the Hausa went for Gabon too?
Does our internal politics have a relationship with both nations, Niger headed by Hausa and Gabon headed by Igbo till today's Gabon putsch?

Gabon is not part of Ecowas but Niger is. Share your view please.

Remember that when you point one finger at someone or a tribe you hate and lie against because of your hate and bigotry, the other 4 fingers are facing you. Is HE Bongo a casualty of your hate? Check my signature for free stuffs!

Why do you @ OP like creating meaningless thread?
Having failed at blogging, you think promoting ethnic intolerance within Nigerian social ethnic groups or promoting inter party hatred will give you, your breakthrough?

I don't know what you lots enjoy in posting unverifiable news about Igbos. Anything having to do with Igbos gives you hard erection.

Sahara reporters have deleted the news from their shiiiit website so I'm not surprised.

Igbos have been happy about the coup since morning and they seem to be happier than the Gabon people not knowing that the ousted president is there son. Nonentities

Who are the "we", because the last time I checked majority of nigerians gave Obi their mandate but eyeneck did otherwise.
If Obi is a fraudster I wonder the correct word we will use to qualify tinubu, whose everything about him is fake including his university degree grin

So you don't know that Otti defeated PDP twice and was robbed by INEC and judiciary before he took advantange of obidients movement to defy the rotten system? You don't know that Abia results took many days before announcement because they wanted to falsify it as usual? And you don't know that Ngwa is majority but supposed Otti from Arochukwu and rejected the riggin plan. We no be your mate oo
