NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – Ex-Vice President Leni Robredo has expressed deep concern over reports that Larry Gadon has figured in a coup!

Robredo was reacting to news that military officers in oil-producing Gabon said they had seized power on Wednesday, placing President Ali Bongo under house arrest and naming a new leader after the Central African state’s election body announced Bongo had won a third term.

Saying they represented the armed forces, the officers declared on television that the election results were cancelled, borders closed and state institutions dissolved, after a tense vote that was set to extend the Bongo family’s more than half century in power.

Robredo asked: who now will be the new Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation?
