The apprehension of political figure Ndiaga Seck has ignited considerable public discussion. Accused of alleged “unnatural acts,” he faced formal charges on Monday, delivered by the investigating judge of Louga’s first chamber, subsequently leading to his incarceration.
Amidst this unfolding situation, a segment of online users and social media platforms are actively endeavoring to forge a connection between this incident and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. This specific approach has drawn sharp criticism from Babacar Ba, who presides over the Forum des justiciables.
Babacar Ba asserts that these tactics constitute a deliberate “attempt to discredit” the head of government.
“As Premier ministre, Ousmane Sonko embodies the governmental institution itself,” he stated. “It is, therefore, entirely unacceptable to seek to tarnish his reputation or cast aspersions upon his character.”
Furthermore, Babacar Ba emphasized that the detention of Ndiaga Seck, based on “alleged unnatural acts,” can never legitimately serve as a pretext to link his name or image with Ousmane Sonko, particularly with the explicit intent of undermining the Prime Minister’s standing.
He further articulated that “such practices fundamentally contravene the core tenets of a state governed by the rule of law and cannot be countenanced.”
