In its edition of this Thursday, L’Observateur informs that the Head of State has mentioned in the Council of Ministers his decision to appoint Aminata Touré to head the “Diomaye Président” coalition, in place of Aïda Mbodji. “With the calm and restraint that is his, le président de la République has fully assumed his decision”, reports le quotidien du Groupe futurs médias. Diomaye Faye, continues le journal, is firstly a long-winded reviewer of the history of the coalition that brought him to power and then traces its evolution since he addressed to his now former coordinator, Aïda Mbodji, on 10 September last, a letter to draw his attention to the need to restructure the entity in order to make it more operational. “Sans langue de bois, mais dans un langage d’une grande courtoisie, Bassirou Diomaye Faye a tenu à préciser que lui, en tant que président de la coalition, ne l’a jamais dissoute et que personne ne l’avait jamais entendu évoquer ni formaliser une telle décision”, souligne la même source. “With regard to the fact that the President of the Coalition, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected, Bassirou Diomaye Faye has not been elected, and has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected, and has not yet been elected”. L’Observateur informs that the presidential explanation session took place in the absence of the Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, who took two weeks of leave to rest, according to the official version. However, according to the newspaper, Diomaye Faye “has never at any moment evoked a disagreement with his Prime Minister”. In addition, concludes le quotidien d’information, he “did not dwell much on the terms, with rare firmness, of the communiqué de Pastef” contesting his decision to remove the head of the “Diomaye Président” coalition, Aïda Mbodji, in favour of Aminata Touré.
