MORE than a week after the seizure of power by the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI), the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG), through its Deputy Secretary General 1 in charge of Basic Structures and legal affairs, Luc Oyoubi, yesterday took note, during a declaration, “of the change of regime which took place on August 30”.
While thanking the CTRI for having “decided, through an act of great wisdom and respect for our values, to give all his freedom to the former head of state, Ali Bongo Ondimba, also Distinguished Comrade President (DCP ) of the CEO”. A declaration made public at the headquarters of this political group in the presence, among others, of members of the Standing Committee of the political bureau, Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze, Denise Mekam’ne Edzidzie-Taty, Blaise Louembe, Camélia Ntoutoume-Leclercq, of the president of the Advisory Council of Elders, André-Dieudonné Berre.
In any case, the speaker expressed the desire of the former ruling party to maintain, alongside the Transitional authorities and the populations, a climate of peace and serenity. Hence, he indicated, “the CEO will support all initiatives undertaken by the CTRI aimed at responding to the concerns, needs and expectations of the Gabonese populations”. Not without having invited the new authorities to definitively adhere to the fundamental values of Gabonese society and to continue their work for a peaceful, united and prosperous Gabon.
While congratulating them in passing for having demonstrated, when they took power, “absolute control of the situation by preventing our beautiful country of Gabon from a painful and bloody ordeal with incalculable consequences.”
