The incumbent president of the Union of Forces for Change (UFC), Joachim Mbatchi Pambou, during the political return of this grouping of opposition political parties in Gabon, expressed with exasperation that his former friends co-opted by the Transitional government to manage the country together in various sectors of the administration, shine by the retrograde practices of the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG, former ruling party deposed), notably by nepotism and tribalism, vices that hinder the emergence of a democratic country.
“We shamefully discover our friends from yesterday’s opposition greedy for power and even to the boulanger, that all this stammering was nothing but a belly problem. However, when it comes to participating in the management of the country, they only reproduce the copy of the much criticized Gabonese Democratic Party with methods such as tribalism, nepotism, clientelism, and sectarianism,” Mr. Mbatchi Pambou lambasted.
While giving its unwavering support to the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI, in power), the UFC calls on General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema to be more vigilant to prevent the transition from being sabotaged by their former comrades in the struggle regarded as democracy traitors.
“While we thought that our divergent approaches and strategies on the essential question of ousting the Bongo-PDG regime contributed to the richness of our political ecosystem, we observe astonishingly that those who claim to be virtuous are actually unbelievers in republican principles and opportunists without morality,” he said indignantly.
A prominent figure in the national political scene, Louis Gaston Mayila, also one of the founding leaders of the UFC in Mouila in 2012, now a moral authority, was present at the political return of this political grouping which aims to defend its ideas during the upcoming April political dialogue.
