Rumors of Urgent Meeting at Ousmane Sonko’s Home Debunked as Misinformation

An unverified report surfaced this morning claiming an emergency gathering had been organized by Ousmane Sonko at his residence in the Cité Keur Gorgui neighborhood. The supposed meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m., allegedly involved key members of the Pastef party, including El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, Daouda Ngom, Abass Fall, and Ayib Daffé. The context surrounding the claim suggested heightened political tensions.

However, a close associate of Sonko reached out to clarify the situation, firmly denying the existence of any such meeting. According to the source, no official notice was ever issued, and the rumor appears to be entirely fabricated, circulating primarily on social media platforms.

The denial underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it, especially in politically sensitive environments where misinformation can quickly escalate tensions.
