Qabil obsession is exhausting, it’s just a mythical story made up by ignorant people to ascertain fake dominance. Everything should start and end with the last word.
🇸🇳Ousmane Sonko: “There will be no system of hyper-presidentialism in Senegal today.”
Senegal’s parliament erupted in celebration and dance as Ousmane Sonko took his seat as the new President of the National Assembly, amid escalating tensions with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
“What is at stake is the relationship between morality and politics,” Sonko declared.
“The National Assembly will use all its levers of power firmly but responsibly moving forward,” Sonko warns in his first address, as he officially becomes Senegal’s second-highest state authority.
"I will not use the Assembly to feed personal vendettas. That would be a betrayal to our very own struggle."
While insisting that his party, PASTEF, will give President Faye “the best conditions to complete his term”, Sonko maintains that his party must remain central to the functioning of government. He argues that the appointment of the new Prime Minister, Ahmadou Al Aminou Lô, was carried out without adequate consultation with the ruling party, PASTEF.
“Our party was not involved in this decision to appoint the new prime minister. It was also not consulted in the formation of the government. You can’t have PASTEF without PASTEF.”
“I know the Prime Minister personally having worked with him for a year and a half during which he accomplished a tremendous amount of work.”
However, Sonko says he had “certain disagreements” with him on monetary and debt-related issues.
