Burkina: the boss of the Ebomaf group intends to block the path of the presidency to economic operators
Ouagadougou, August 11, 2022(AIB)- The wealthy Burkinabe businessman, Mahamoudou Bonkoungou, said with conviction that his group would oppose any economic operator who wanted to conquer state power in Burkina Faso, reported Thursday the private television Savane TV.
“It is not up to an economic operator to seek to be president. Any economic operator in Burkina Faso, who would try to run for the highest office, will find the EBOMAF group in front of him.
I say this without fear. This is not necessarily a challenge but it is a barrier. The EBOMAF group puts a barrier to the political claims of economic operators,” said its CEO Mahamoudou Bonkoungou.
He was speaking Thursday evening in a report by private television Savane TV, showing him visiting two new planes that he intends to launch on the Lomé-Ouaga line.
The EBOMAF holding company has branches in construction, hotels, aviation and general trade in Burkina Faso and in the sub-region.
“I don’t think I can have the brains to run two states. The political question in Burkina Faso is not on the agenda at my level, and I do not want God to put it in my head, “Mahamoudou Bonkoungou replied in March 2022 at the microphone of burkina.24, on his political ambitions.
As a reminder, Burkina Faso experienced a coup on January 24, 2022 which brought Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba to the head of a country plagued by violent terrorist attacks for six years.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the new leaders have agreed to a two-year Transition from July 2022, before elections to restore normal constitutional order.
