Abdoulaye Wade reacted to the national situation and addressed President Macky Sall, inviting him to give up some weight to safeguard the stability of Senegal. In a statement he received, he calls on his successor and calls for appeasement. Here is the full statement of the former president and founder of the Pds.
Sonko has been called by the Dean of the investigating judges, from whose office he can leave with a dismissal of the case, a committal order or provisional release, or release on probation.
That is why I call on President Macky Sall to uphold the law which prescribes that every citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a fair court, through a public, adversarial trial with full respect for the rights of the accused and those of the defence.
If it is true that Abdou Diouf has arrested me several times and put me in prison, he never wanted to destroy me; he has always refused to follow his up to and including boutists who, with the drunkenness of power, are generally incapable of earning an honest living through work and have chosen to take advantage of power to get rich.
President Macky Sall, you also have around you some up to the bumpy as there always are around all Presidents. It is your duty to listen to them, but do not follow them, because they have nothing to lose; as soon as things heat up, they will betray you and surrender to the adversary in order to safeguard their interests.
I hope to be followed by the two parties who, beyond taking passionate positions, will, I hope, have at heart to give priority to the law and avoid confrontation with its procession of deaths, destruction of state property and the heritage of peaceful citizens.
