Ali Bongo Became Delusional To Forget That Power Belongs To The People – Rufai Oseni

 

Arise TV Host, Rufia Oseni has again slammed ousted Gabonese President Ali Bongo.

 

This comes after the military carried out a coup removing the President after he won a third term in office.

 

Bongo's family had ruled the country for over 50 years.

 

Bongo’s son and close adviser, Noureddin Bongo Valentin, his chief of staff, Ian Ghislain Ngoulou, his deputy, two other presidential advisers, and the two top officials in the ruling Gabonese Democratic Party were also arrested.

 

The military accused them of treason, embezzlement, corruption, and falsifying the president’s signature, among other allegations.

 

Reacting on Wednesday, Oseni said that if the judiciary and other African institutions are more robust, there will be fewer coups.

 

He tweeted, “For politicians that act like God remember to be careful. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, Ali Bong became delusional to forget that power belongs to the people! The judiciary and other institutions in Africa must be bolstered. If we had stronger institutions, we will have less coups.
