Photos: Football superstar Lionel Messi Gets A Drive From President Of Gabon.

Lionel Messi, the star of FC Barcelona and Argentina, has been taking part on Saturday, alongside the president of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba, in a service to open the Port-Gentil stadium, which will host games at the African Cup of Nations in 2017.

The function occurred in Port-Gentil, which is the second city in Gabon and the nation’s oil capital.

Amid his visit, Leo Messi signed various autographs before getting in an auto to make a short, typical excursion around the stadium with Ali Bongo Ondimba.

“When I was in Barcelona a few years ago, I saw Messi and he said he would come to visit me in Libreville,” the president of Gabon explained.
“It was a promise which he made to me. He is a man of honour, one who has kept his word. The calendar worked out well and it has corresponded with the laying of the first stone,” the Gabonese leader added.

In 2012, Gabon hosted the African Cup of Nations together with Equatorial Guinea, who then hosted the tournament alone in 2015.
