In a powerful address delivered from Touba during the inauguration of his party’s local headquarters, National Assembly President Ousmane Sonko launched a scathing critique against the President of the Republic. Denouncing what he described as a «feverish» approach to state governance, Sonko openly challenged the conduct of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. He went further, issuing a direct threat to obstruct future legislation by systematically referring any proposed laws to the Constitutional Council, highlighting growing tensions in African politics.
Addressing his enthusiastic supporters and invoking the revered legacy of probity inherent in Mouridism, Ousmane Sonko painted a bleak picture of the current executive branch. Echoing widespread rumors of internal divisions that have circulated in recent months, the former Prime Minister lambasted President Faye, characterizing him as both isolated and susceptible to influence. He explicitly accused the head of state of being manipulated by specific factions, even within opposition ranks, who, he claimed, are actively encouraging him to distance himself from his long-standing mentor, a development closely watched across West Africa news.
