Then comes Abdoulaye Wade, the historical opponent, who will end up bringing to power the one he has himself shaped: Macky Sall, passed through all the stations of power from the direction of Petrosen, to the Ministry of the Interior, to the presidency of the National Assembly before becoming president in his turn. But today, an unprecedented tournament is written before our eyes. A man, Ousmane Sonko, inspecteur des impôts radié de la fonction publique, sans appareil d’État ni parrain officiel, carried only by the force of his popular legitimacy, has succeeded in reversing the course of history. Through his struggle and vision, he was able to elect mayors, departmental council presidents, deputies… and finally a President of the Republic. The people followed him. Rather, he supported him in the trials, supported him in the adversity, and entrusted him with the mission of rebuilding the State. Why such attachment?
Ismaila Diallo: ” Sonko has returned to the people what no one could buy or manipulate: his dignity ”
