During the inauguration ceremony for Pastef’s new headquarters in Mbacké, party President Ousmane Sonko delivered a powerful appeal for solidarity among his political leaders. He cautioned them against internal rivalries, emphasizing how such divisions could undermine the party’s momentum. Speaking directly to the senior members of his movement, the influential Pastef figure underscored the vital importance of maintaining cohesion, which he described as the sole assurance for their future endeavors.
Sonko acknowledged that personal ambition was not inherently negative. However, he cautioned that it becomes detrimental when it jeopardizes collective unity and hinders the party’s operational effectiveness. Confident in his movement’s widespread popular support, Ousmane Sonko asserted that Pastef remains robust, bolstered by the backing of at least 70% of the populace. Consequently, he believes the party has no significant external adversaries to fear. For him, the gravest threat originates from within the party itself, explaining his strong emphasis on the individual and collective responsibility of its executives.
The President of the National Assembly urged officials to join forces and confront upcoming challenges with a united front. He also issued a clear warning: should this unity falter, he would not hesitate to assume his responsibilities and make the necessary decisions, a statement that suggests the potential for internal reorganizations or disciplinary actions.
