Ousmane Sonko is currently in Saint-Louis as part of the electoral campaign to support his candidate, Bassirou Diomaye Faye. In Guet-Ndar, he responded to some criticism addressed to the leader of the Diomaye President coalition.
“They attacked our candidate by claiming that he had not left Thiès for days. Yet, their own candidate was at TFM yesterday to give lessons on fashion. He (Amadou Ba, Editor’s note) does not have the stature to lead the country. I worked with him for a long time,” he assures.
“I know him well. When I was a civil servant, I served the country, I did not take advantage of the country. For him, it was the opposite. That’s why he has billions. A billionaire civil servant, no one should entrust him with the reins of the country,” declared Ousmane Sonko. The leader of the patriots also added, “Ask him how he acquired his house in Almadies. They take the Senegalese people for naïve.”
Ousmane Sonko’s visit to Saint-Louis has sparked controversy and debate within the political landscape, as he continues to make bold statements and criticisms against his opponents. His support for Bassirou Diomaye Faye is seen as a strategic move to strengthen his own position within the coalition and to garner more support for the upcoming elections.
As the electoral campaign heats up, Ousmane Sonko remains a key figure in Senegalese politics, known for his strong stance against corruption and his vocal opposition to the current government. His visit to Saint-Louis is just one of many stops on his campaign trail, as he seeks to rally the support of voters across the country.
Overall, Ousmane Sonko’s presence in Saint-Louis has brought renewed energy and fervor to the electoral campaign, with his fiery speeches and fierce critiques capturing the attention of the Senegalese people. As the elections draw near, it will be interesting to see how his campaign efforts will impact the political landscape in Senegal.
