Polémique autour de Me Abdoulaye Tine : Diaraf Sow dénonce une « manipulation » médiatique
A controversy has arisen in recent days surrounding remarks attributed to Abdoulaye Tine, the Minister and spokesperson for the Presidency of the Republic. In a statement released this Tuesday, Diaraf Sow, national president of the ADAE/J party and member of the think tank within the DiomayePrésident coalition, firmly denied the information relayed by certain media outlets and platforms close to PASTEF.
According to these publications, Mr. Tine allegedly stated that "dissolving the National Assembly would be a risky gamble for President Bassirou Diomaye Faye." The authors of the press release describe this assertion as "completely false."
According to Mr. Sow, the minister spokesperson never made such remarks. He clarifies that the expression "risky bet" was used by a journalist from Radio France Internationale (RFI) during the program "Appels sur l'actualité" broadcast on June 23, 2026.
The press release also reproduces the exchange in question. The journalist reportedly asked the minister: "Abdoulaye Tine, is it a risky gamble for the Head of State to dissolve the National Assembly?"
To this question, Maitree Abdoulaye Tine reportedly replied: "For now, we are far from this scenario, but it is a legal possibility. All options must be on the table because that is the normal functioning of democracy."
For Maitre Diaraf Sow, attributing to the minister the terms used by the journalist is a "dishonest" approach and constitutes an attempt to manipulate public opinion.
The politician condemns what he considers to be methods of disinformation and calls on the media concerned to be more rigorous in their handling of information.
In order to put an end to the controversy, he invites the public to listen to the full speech of the minister spokesperson available on RFI platforms, in order to get a clear idea of the content of his statements.
