False claims of emergency meeting with Ousmane Sonko debunked

Rumors circulating since Friday morning suggested an urgent meeting was called by Ousmane Sonko at his residence in the Cité Keur Gorgui neighborhood. According to the unverified claim, several senior members of the Pastef party, including El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, Daouda Ngom, Abass Fall, and Ayib Daffé, were expected to attend a gathering scheduled for 6 PM under politically sensitive circumstances.

A source with close ties to the Pastef leadership reached out to clarify the situation, firmly denying the existence of any such meeting. The individual, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that no official invitations had been issued—whether at Sonko’s home or any other location. The claim, they emphasized, originated from a fabricated story circulating on social media.
