« Vous me permettrez de m'adresser à vous » : Le message du PM Al Aminou Lo à Ousmane Sonko
Facing the deputies to deliver his General Policy Statement, Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo wanted to immediately address his predecessor who had become President of the National Assembly.
“Mr. President Ousmane Sonko, allow me to address you for a moment and to remember once again that day, Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at the time of breaking a day of fasting. That day when I answered the call of my nation for a consultation for a ministerial post, while I had occupied for 61 days the prestigious post of Secretary General of the BCEAO, that is, the first civil servant in the hierarchical order of the agents of the headquarters and the member establishments of the central bank, the 4th in protocol rank after the governor and the two vice-governors of this institution,” he recalled.
According to him, this consultation ended with his following statement as he left the man who would become the 5th President of the Republic of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, and Ousmane Sonko: "Mr. President of the National Assembly, if you cannot find anyone better than me for the position of Secretary General of the Government, I am ready for the priesthood at your side as a patriot."
“ The vision for this framework was inspired by the electoral program ‘Diomaye President’”
Thus, he argues: “At your side, from April 2024 to April 2025, as Minister Secretary General of the Government, I know firsthand the responsibilities you have borne and the projects you have initiated.” The current Prime Minister emphasizes that the National Framework for Systemic Transformation Senegal 2050, which is “the foundation of my general policy statement this morning, is my sole objective.”
“The vision for this framework was inspired by the “Diomaye President” electoral program. You had it translated into a framework under the authority of the Head of State by a team that I coordinated, the Prime Minister’s technical team, and I supervised the start of its development into a master plan. In my capacity as Minister of State to the Head of State, in charge of the Senegal 2050 Agenda, from April 30, 2024 to May 24, 2024, I ensured the finalization of the master plan and the structuring of the strategic management of the framework,” he specified.
Before continuing: “And I will always remember the words you uttered when you and the President finally decided to let me go to the Presidency to take care of the framework. You told me: ‘You will serve as a bridge within the agenda between the Presidency and the Prime Minister’s Office.’”
" You described me as competent, hardworking, rigorous, and dedicated. Yes, I am dedicated."
Addressing the members of parliament, the Prime Minister suggested: "I have no ambition to derail anything in the implementation of the vision of a sovereign, just and prosperous Senegal, rooted in strong values. The course will be maintained with a change of method inspired by my long professional career."
“This method,” he continued, “Mr. President of the National Assembly, “which I put to good use in my capacity as Secretary General of the Government, and which you praised—and for which I thank you most sincerely—in your first words as President of this august institution, you described me as competent, hardworking, rigorous, and dedicated. Yes, I am dedicated. I remain dedicated to those who have placed their trust in me and who continue to do so, but above all, I am dedicated to the Senegalese people and the interests of the Senegalese people.”
In conclusion, Al Aminou Lo points out that there is, moreover, something in the image we present today that honors our democracy. "A head of government present before his predecessor, now the first member of parliament, for a general policy statement—that's precisely what it means."
