This followed his election victory on April 12, 2025, when he emerged victorious after beating seven others to win the presidential election.

Nguema had been the interim President for 20 months following a change in government and ouster of former President Ali Bongo.

According to a statement by the spokesman of the Nigeria’s vice president, Stanley Nkwocha, the inauguration ceremony, which held at the Stade de l’Amitié sino-gabonaise in Libreville, Gabon, saw military parades, marchpast and display of Gabon’s rich cultural heritage.

In his inauguration speech, the President of Gabon, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, thanked citizens of the country for their overwhelming support for him, leading to his emergence as a democratically elected President.

President Nguema further promised to address the challenges of insecurity and criminality that were troubling the country, adding that the lack of adequate water supply will also be tackled.
