The Gabonese presidency has debunked rumours that the ailing president, Ali Bongo, has been replaced by a clone.
Reports had been festering that the president had recruited a look alike to replace him for months while he received medical attention for a stroke in 2018.
Ike Ngouoni, presidential spokesman said to reporters “The President of the Republic was (t) here in flesh, a number of people saw him. He went around the city.
Ali Bongo, who is currently recovering in Morocco, has only returned to Gabon twice since he became ill in 2018 whiles on an official trip. On both ‘visits,’ he stayed briefly and flew back to Rabat.
