Equatorial Guinea's government has resigned following a public statement by Vice‑President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, who cited only 10% success in meeting organisational targets.


Vice‑President Obiang used the platform X to assert that the resignation fits the principle of accountability, emphasizing that governance must deliver results.


The resignation comes after concerns about the prime minister Manuel Osa Nsue Nsua’s inability to curb corruption and promote economic diversification beyond oil.


PmNsue’s role has been under scrutiny since his appointment in 2024, with critics pointing to stalled development projects and misuse of state resources.


Equatorial Guinea, an oil‑rich country with a population of about 1.8 million, faces persistent poverty and economic decline as oil production falls.
