Sonko and Diomaye are incompetent

Sonko is not only incompetent, but he is also a compulsive liar. He has lied about numerous things—denying ever going to that massage parlor, claiming to have found 1,000 billion FCFA in an account, and so much more. Yet, many young people are too delusional and naive to see through his deception.

Macky Sall was not a perfect president, but he was the best leader Senegal has seen in our lifetime. From the massive infrastructure projects he initiated to the respect he commanded on the international stage, his legacy speaks for itself. People claim that he and his administration stole money, but where is the proof? If that were true, the new government should have no trouble taking them to court.

For ten years, Sonko and his team, especially Diomaye, assured us they had all the solutions to Senegal’s problems. They promised that from day one, they would deliver results. Yet, as soon as they took power, all they have done is complain about the previous regime. They demanded control of the parliament—we gave it to them. Still, they keep whining.

They pledged to separate the executive from the judiciary. They didn’t. They promised to eliminate the Caisse Noire. They didn’t. They swore to repeal the amnesty law. They didn’t. They claimed they would hire based purely on merit. They didn’t. They bragged about a plan drafted by 4,000 experts from their party. That plan never existed—they had to hire consultants.

And now, instead of delivering on their promises, they are talking about cutting salaries and increasing taxes. This is pure incompetence.

At this point, the best option might be to let them ruin the country, vote them out in 2029, and bring back Macky Sall. That seems like the only viable solution.
