Babacar Ba, the president of the Forum du Justiciable, has unequivocally come to the defense of Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, vehemently rejecting any attempts to link him with the arrest of Ndiaga Seck. He labels these implications as malicious and ill-intentioned. His strong appeal for the preservation of the Prime Minister’s public image raises significant questions regarding ethical standards in the handling of judicial matters within Senegal.

Babacar Ba, the esteemed president of the Forum du Justiciable, has vociferously condemned any endeavors aimed at forging a connection between Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and the ongoing legal matter involving Ndiaga Seck, who was recently apprehended on charges related to alleged acts against nature.

Mr. Ba conveyed that, in his esteemed capacity as head of government, Ousmane Sonko fundamentally “embodies the governmental institution” itself. He asserted that any maneuver designed to “tarnish his distinguished image” or “cast unwarranted discredit upon his person” is entirely unacceptable. The president of the Forum du Justiciable firmly maintains that the apprehension of Ndiaga Seck cannot, under any circumstances, serve as a legitimate basis for associating him with the Prime Minister in a bid to undermine his authority or reputation.

Furthermore, Babacar Ba emphatically reiterated that such practices, in his considered opinion, constitute a direct affront to the fundamental tenets of the rule of law and must not be condoned. His decisive intervention comes at a time when the Ndiaga Seck case continues to generate widespread discussion and various viewpoints across the public domain in Senegal.
