Yesterday, the leader of Pastef, Ousmane Sonko made a statement, following the verdict pronounced by the Dakar Court of Appeal in the case opposing him to Minister Mame Mbaye Niang. “This verdict does not shake me,” he said.

This even if she cancels her candidacy for the Presidential of 2024. “I know that you believe in the project. But be aware that Macky Sall took the first step on Monday that could prevent the materialization of this project. I reiterate my call for resistance. Therefore, I call on all Senegalese to face Macky Sall.

I call on everyone to say no to this forfeiture. And I assure you, we can settle the case in a day. I am already ready. This fight is different from that of March 2021 and we are able to fight it. We have the means to make this country ungovernable. It was said that I will not participate in the Presidential, but we will see how they will materialize that,” he said. The leader of Pastef insists: “Today, more than ever, I am a candidate. No one can prevent me from being a candidate.”

This is why he calls on his supporters to focus on this unique undertaking and not to scatter themselves by participating in all the debates. He thus refers to the release of Barthélemy Dias on the same day as the trial. For him, the mayor of Dakar is only a character in the theatrical play written by the party in power. On Monday, he had a score to play as a diversion. Ousmane Sonko regrets that he has succeeded and has called his activists to order for this purpose. ”We have to focus,” he said. Furthermore, regarding the dialogue, he reiterated: “The dialogue is not sincere.”
