In a firm demonstration of stability and leadership, President Alassane Ouattara chaired a scheduled cabinet meeting today at the Presidential Palace in Abidjan, amidst swirling rumours of an attempted coup d’état in Côte d’Ivoire.
The meeting, attended by key ministers and senior government officials, focused on ongoing national development priorities, economic performance, and the country’s security posture. President Ouattara reiterated the government’s unwavering commitment to constitutional order and democratic governance.
“Our institutions are strong, and our republic is intact,” President Ouattara stated during the opening of the session. “The Ivorian people can rest assured that their government remains in full control and is dedicated to safeguarding peace and national unity.”
Speculation about unrest emerged on social media platforms late last night, prompting heightened public concern. However, both the Ministry of Defense and the National Security Council have confirmed that there is no credible threat to the current administration or public safety.
Government Spokesperson Amadou Coulibaly dismissed the rumours as “baseless and irresponsible,” warning that individuals spreading false information intended to destabilize the nation could face prosecution under Ivorian law.
