Ousmane Sonko denies emergency meeting rumors amid Pastef tensions

Rumors swirling online this morning claimed an urgent meeting was organized by Ousmane Sonko at his residence in Keur Gorgui. The alleged gathering, reportedly scheduled for 6 PM, was said to involve key Pastef officials including El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, Daouda Ngom, Abass Fall, and Ayib Daffé. The supposed meeting was framed against a backdrop of escalating political tensions.

However, a source deeply connected to Ousmane Sonko has categorically dismissed these claims as completely unfounded. The insider clarified that no official summons was ever issued for a political bureau meeting, whether at Sonko’s home or any other location. The close associate went further to denounce the spread of this misinformation across social platforms, labeling it a deliberate fabrication.
