Indications have emerged that Gabonese President, Ali Bongo Ondimba is a Nigerian of the ethnic Igbo stock. It is said that he was adopted during the Biafran war by his father Omar Bongo who handed over to him as President.
This development may soon be confirmed as a court in western France on Thursday allowed a family member of Omar Bongo to view the birth certificate of Ali Bongo following accusations that he lied about his country of origin.
The Gabonese constitution demands that 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 a Nigerian and was adopted during the Biafran war in the late 1960s.
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, which 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. He 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.

ReplyDeleteAbeg o. He should continue denying it so he won't lose the seat. Igbo man, be smart o
ReplyDeleteEzeokwu! Tell me something.
ReplyDeleteAccording to a friend from Gabon, the man is corrupt even as president, so people are trying to remove him from the seat.
ReplyDeleteHe is not the only one, a lot of them in Gabon politics, was reading about this several years ago, I stumbled into a lot of Igbo surnames in the Odimba political circle name like MBAH etc. This is one of the thing that gowon fail to do by bringing are children who were airlifted to Gabon during starvation (that one man said that all is fair in war) gowon declared fake 3RS which was abandoned in the east by his economic team who later started developing their region.
ReplyDeleteThe name 'mbah' is across equatorial Africa especially with the bantus. It's reoccurrence in Igbo land is even minimal compared to how it is a common name the Cameroons (English or French speaking regions) spreading through the Congo basin covering all of central Africa.
DeleteGreat news cuz its been a family thing,other people too should take the seat...dats y Stella said great news
ReplyDeleteI have always known he was adopted by the late Omar Bongo during the civil war so this is no news to me.
ReplyDeleteIgbo kwenu...e no get where dem no they see una oo
ReplyDeleteIbo people? I trust em
ReplyDeleteHe is said to be Ojukwu's son
ReplyDeleteHis Mum, Mrs Bongo has the solution to all the puzzle. They should ask her. If only she's willing to give out any info. That's if she likes or if Ali Bongo cares.
ReplyDeleteWhether adopted or not, he most likely earned the love and trust of his dad, the late Omar Bongo. That he put him in place to run the country. His mom too is back in Libreville hovering over him like mother hen, still very protective of him; making sure he has the right people around him who will not betray him. The woman behaves like Ali is her only child. That's the bond they have..
His Mum is Omar Bongo ' s first wife who was on a self imposed exile for more than 4 decades in California. i. e. after her marriage crashed w the late president. Ali B. brought her back to Gabon when he became president. So whether he was adopted; no body would hv known except maybe for some family dynamics going on right now or some political witch hunt.. Ali Bongo was sooo loved by both mom & dad and was spoiled rotten. He had all, the mom ensured that. That's why he is the one running his estate. More so he is a very kind, humble, good natured individual.
Whether you are picked out of a gutter or latrine, who God go bless, he go bless. Who God don bless, he don bless finish.
