The group of 12 officers made the announcement in which they said they had observed “irresponsible, unpredictable governance resulting in a continuing deterioration in social cohesion that risks leading the country into chaos…
“We have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime.”
The soldiers have equally announced that, “The borders are closed until further notice.”
Calling themselves ‘Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions’, they have also said the country is “on the road to happiness.”,
Libreville, they added, will respect its commitments “to the national and international community.
“We call for calm and serenity from the public, the communities of sister countries settled in Gabon, and the Gabonese diaspora,” an officer has said on behalf of the committee on national television.
He added, “We reaffirm our commitment to respecting Gabon’s commitments to the national and international community.
“People of Gabon, we are finally on the road to happiness.”
The Gabonese Election Centre (CGE) had announced that Bongo won the disputed election with 64.27 per cent of the votes cast.
