Accusations of a “Fatal Diabolization Agenda”

Faye claims he has been a primary target of a “fatal diabolization agenda” since the current administration took power. He argues that despite numerous investigations and attempts to find evidence of wrongdoing during his tenure, no concrete evidence has emerged. He maintains his innocence and vows to fight against what he perceives as politically motivated attacks.

Faye stated that despite extensive investigations, including telephone surveillance, the current administration has failed to produce any credible evidence of wrongdoing on his part. He emphasized that no reports from state control bodies have implicated him in any acts of bad governance.

PRODAC and Hydro-Agricultural Studies: Addressing Further Allegations

Faye also addressed allegations concerning the PRODAC (Agricultural Production Support Project) and hydro-agricultural studies.He pointed to a 2024 report by the Court of Auditors, stating that it contained only recommendations and did not call for judicial action. He also mentioned a survey on a turnkey contract related to the DAC’s hydro-agricultural studies,wich he claims was never approved.

Defense of Macky Sall’s Legacy: “a Success”

faye concluded by defending the overall performance of the Macky Sall administration, asserting that it was “a success” despite its detractors. He accused the current leaders of deceiving the public to gain power and predicted that the truth would eventually prevail. He ended his statement with a patriotic call for Senegal’s prosperity.

Ultimately, the management of Macky sall, overall was a success, displeases his detractors! These new leaders lied the people to access power, but when the lie takes the elevator, the truth that takes the stairs will always end up.
