On the occasion of the presentation of the “Khalifa President” leaders conference, Hélène Tine revealed, during a press conference on Wednesday, the reasons why she joined the leader of “Taxawou Sénégal.”
Hélène Tine, without hesitation, believes that Khalifa Ababacar Sall remains the “best choice” for Senegal. “We need a man of his caliber to lead us towards a development model that we have been wanting for so long,” she asserts. Hélène Tine sees Khalifa Sall as “a man of value” and listed the reasons why.
“He is a man of consistency. I know Khalifa Sall well. He has always been active in a constructive opposition. People talk about his positioning, but Khalifa doesn’t need any lessons from anyone when it comes to his choice of stance. He has been in opposition since 2000. So, he is more experienced than anyone else,” she defends her candidate. She continues: “This value of consistency is unique to him, and we share it with him.”
Describing Khalifa Sall as a “man of peace,” Hélène Tine attributes to him the quality of being “resilient.” She affirms, “We were there when they took away his mayor’s seat, when they imprisoned him. But he remained dignified and faithful. We have walked with Khalifa, and we have seen what he has done in Dakar with his achievements until Dakar granted him a second term.”
According to the former collaborator of Idrissa Seck, Khalifa Ababacar Sall has “broad shoulders to carry the country.” If he becomes president, he will “put the interests of Senegalese people, no matter which side they are on, above his own.” Urging for restraint and calm, the former parliamentarian exhorts women to become more involved in politics to ensure a better future for their children.
