Zéphirin Obame
Zéphirin Obame is the spokesperson for the collective SOS Pétrolier, an organization advocating for workers' rights in Gabon's oil sector. Formerly employed by the Société de prestations de services (SNPS), he has recently gained attention for his outspoken criticism of the inefficacy of the presidential commission overseeing social dialogue in the hydrocarbons sector. On August 7, 2026, Obame held a press conference in Libreville, demanding urgent action from President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema to address the grievances of workers, warning of potential disruptions in the oil industry if immediate measures are not implemented by a set deadline.
