Sakho argues that Sonko, having been at the heart of the executive as Prime Minister for two years and influencing the current regime, cannot claim credit for the 2024 victory while disclaiming responsibility for current national difficulties. The author emphasizes that governing entails accountability for issues previously denounced. Sakho points out Sonko's central role under President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, granting him the means to act and direct policy.
He questions Sonko's current stance on economic difficulties, reminding him of his two years as a key political leader. Sakho also challenges Sonko's recent focus on constitutional reforms and presidential prerogatives, suggesting a shift in intensity since he left the executive, potentially aimed at weakening another branch of power. Furthermore, Sakho calls for transparency regarding political funds, urging Sonko to apply the same standards of accountability he demanded from others.
The author concludes that Sonko's political challenge is no longer about conquering power, but about demonstrating results, and that his true adversary is now his own record, which the people will ultimately judge based on outcomes rather than rhetoric.
