Early life

He was born in Haut-Ogooué Province, Gabon. He is related to the family of former President Omar Bongo and studied at Omar Bongo University.


Career

Oligui studied at Meknes Royal Military Academy in Morocco.[3] He served as an aide-de-camp to President Omar Bongo until his death in 2009. He then served as a military attaché at the Gabonese embassies in Morocco and Senegal.[4]

In October 2018, he was recalled to Gabon where he replaced Colonel Frédéric Bongo at the head of the intelligence service of the Republican Guard: the Directorate General of Special Services (DGSS).[5] In 2021 he notably restarted Operation Mamba.[6]

He took over the head of the Gabonese Republican Guard in April 2020, replacing General Grégoire Kouna, a cousin of then President Ali Bongo Ondimba.[7] He significantly reformed the Special Interventions Section (SIS) a special unit placed under the direct authority of the President. Increasing it from around thirty to more than 300 elements.[5] He also composed a song which included the line “I would defend my president with honour and loyalty”.[4]

According to a 2020 Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) investigation, he owns several properties in the United States worth more than $1 million[8] and also helped expand the Bongos' overseas businesses. Asked about these dealings, he said they were a "private affair".[4]

2023 Gabonese coup d'état

Following the 2023 Gabonese coup d'état which overthrew President Ali Bongo, the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions named Oligui as the interim president of Gabon in an announcement aired on state television.[9] He was later seen on the shoulders of jubilant army personnel calling him the "president".[10]

In an interview with Le Monde later in the day, he referred to Bongo as "retired", but said he was not yet assuming the presidency pending deliberations with other officers later in the afternoon. He also said that the military had staged the coup due to discontent that had been growing in the country since Bongo's stroke in 2018, his decision to run for a third term, the disregarding of the country's constitution and the conduct of the election.[11]
