The president’s son and the country’s vice president, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, said on X that the prime minister had presented the government’s resignation because it had barely met 10% of its targets.
He didn’t specify which targets the government was expected to achieve, but a statement by the ruling party said the president had observed that the government fostered corruption and failed to diversify the economy.
The vice-president said the resignation was in line with “the principle that responsibility in public management must be accompanied by results.” (DWAfrica)
