During a press briefing organized by Pastef-Les Patriotes, Deputy Amadou Ba unveiled what he asserts to be the definitive account of telephone conversations that reportedly took place between Ousmane Sonko and Aminata Touré while the current Prime Minister was incarcerated. This revelation comes as Ba continues to defend the head of government amidst ongoing controversies surrounding the management of public funds. According to the deputy, the former Prime Minister made deeply critical remarks about Bassirou Diomaye Faye during this specific call.
“Diomaye is incapable of leading this country. If you leave him here, he will not last two years,” Aminata Touré allegedly confided to Ousmane Sonko, as reported by Amadou Ba. These statements shed new light on the dynamics within African politics.
The parliamentarian now finds this declaration challenging to reconcile with Aminata Touré’s current public stances, accusing her of attempting to “rewrite history” and manipulate past events to align with the evolving political landscape in Sénégal.
Despite the intensifying exchanges between the two political factions, Amadou Ba urged for calm and restraint, emphasizing the party’s commitment to political dialogue over direct confrontation. “He is pushing us towards violence, and we will not engage,” he affirmed, reiterating Pastef’s preference for constructive debate within West Africa news circles rather than escalating tensions.
