“He [Bongo] was the head of state of Gabon. He has resigned and enjoys all his rights,” Nguema, who reportedly is the coup leader, told a French newspaper, when asked about the president's fate. The general added that Bongo had no right to be reelected for the third time, and the military decided to remove him from power. Nguema also refused to answer the question about Bongo's whereabouts. The council of generals will make decisions on who will lead the country, the republican guard's head said.
