JOJ : Abdou Mbow salue « l'élégance républicaine » de Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye
MP Abdou Mbow extended his warmest congratulations to the President of the National Organising Committee for the Youth Olympic Games (COJOJ), Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye, for the resounding success of the opening ceremony of the Dakar 2026 YOG. The parliamentarian particularly welcomed the public recognition of the decisive role played by former President Macky Sall in awarding these Games to Senegal, considering it an act of great republican significance and a transcendence of political divisions.
“Because the Republic demands elegance… You offered Senegal and Africa an evening of exceptional dignity. An evening that will be remembered. But beyond the beauty of the event, I wanted to thank you for a gesture that honors you. By clearly and forcefully highlighting and acknowledging, in your speech, the important role played by President Macky Sall in 2018 in giving republican strength to this issue, you have performed a truly republican act,” stated the MP, a member of the Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group.
For Abdou Mbow, this explicit reference to the former head of state in the speech of the president of the COJOJ constitutes much more than a simple historical reminder: it reflects an enlightened vision of the state based on institutional continuity and recognition of the work accomplished by predecessors.

“The State is a continuum. The great works of the Nation transcend regimes and men,” he emphasizes, recalling that Macky Sall had personally presented the African Olympic project to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Buenos Aires in 2018.
According to the parliamentarian, by highlighting this historical contribution, Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye demonstrated remarkable foresight, refusing to let partisan considerations prevail over the greater national interest. He believes this gesture helps to restore historical truth and serves as a reminder that the nation's greatest achievements are the result of sustained efforts that transcend political shifts.
“That is what greatness is. That is what the Republic is. By highlighting it with such elegance, you have not only done justice to history. You have shown the way: that of a Senegal that knows how to recognize what everyone has contributed, without partisan spirit,” insists Abdou Mbow, who sees in this tribute a perfect illustration of the country’s institutional maturity.
Beyond the compliments addressed to the head of the COJOJ for the spectacle offered to the world, the MP takes away a strong message of unity: when Senegal triumphs on the international stage, the victory belongs to the whole Nation, beyond political differences and affiliations.

C'est pourtant factuel. N'importe quel journaliste peut avoir la note du juge. Mais, la presse a préféré les "selon notre analyse, Macky Sall préparerait son retour au Sénégal ". La presse préfère occuper les sénégalais de ce qu'elle reconnaît elle-même être une supposition que de parler d'un fait que n'importe qui peut vérifier.
C'est voilà pourquoi quand un sénégalais me dit ne pas comprendre pour qui travaille cette presse, je préfère lui conseiller: "Pour ta santé, essaie de tromper n'importe qui, mais jamais toi-même ".
