Amadou Ba, former candidate for the presidential election and representative of the Jamm ak Njarin coalition for the legislative elections on November 17, went to Parcelles assainies this Wednesday to meet a group of women activists and supporters. Accompanied by several political figures such as Cheikh Abdou Bara, Alioune Badara Diouf, Oumar Sow, Abdoulaye Khouma, Ndèye Saly Diop, and Birima Ndiaye, he did not hesitate to address virulent criticism against the current government led by Diomaye -Sonko.
Speaking in front of his supporters, Amadou Ba made it known that he was not opposed to his old statements being taken up and analyzed in the current context. “Maatayon bania wakh, moreover, I am not against the fact that my old statements are repeated. In any case, it is still too early to talk, because they have only been in power for 6 months. I think it’s not much, since we gave them a 5-year mandate. »
Although he did not directly respond to Sonko’s recent accusations about the supposed “false figures”, Amadou Ba nevertheless expressed deep skepticism towards the current management of the country. “Those who don’t know speak. Those who know keep silent. I said that I prefer to observe them to see where they will lead the country. I thought they would be 2-3 years old. But after the test, they didn’t even have a month and the Senegalese are complaining on all levels. Xamonna ni fii laniou Dieum. But Jubbanti weesul and it is their responsibility. »
Addressing the women present, he encouraged them to play an active role in spreading his message. “Talk to your children, to your spouses, go to the markets and mosques and tell them the truth. Let them make their decision accordingly. A Government cannot spend its time whining and shouting. He is elected to reassure and find solutions. »
The former Prime Minister’s speech seems to indicate a clear desire to warn citizens against the direction taken by the current regime. His remarks, tinged with distrust, aim to provoke collective reflection, while reminding voters of their power of decision in the face of what he considers to be government dysfunctions.
