Me Aïssata Tall Sall’s surprising revelations: “Ousmane Sonko refused to do it”

At a press conference at APR headquarters on November 5, 2026, Me Aïssata Tall Sall accused National Assembly President Ousmane Sonko of refusing to sign mission orders for members of her Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group. The former justice minister said the episode showed the governing majority repeating practices it had criticized while in opposition. She warned against using the state budget as a weapon in political disputes, saying it belongs to Senegalese citizens and serves their needs. Tall Sall pledged that her group would remain firm and continue to challenge the majority in a measured and responsible manner.
