Ousmane Sonko is in Saint-Louis as part of the election campaign for his candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye. In Guet-Ndar, he responded to some jabs aimed at the leader of the DiomayePrésident coalition.
“They attacked our candidate by saying that he has not crossed Thiès for days. Their candidate was at TFM yesterday to show how to dress. He (Amadou Ba) does not have the shoulders to lead the country. I worked with him for a long time. I know him well. When I was a civil servant, I served the country and did not exploit it. He did the opposite. That’s why he has billions. A billionaire civil servant, no one should give him a country,” said Ousmane Sonko.
The leader of the patriots added, “Ask him how he got his house in Almadies. They take the Senegalese people for fools.”
