Attaques de Baye Mayoro Diop contre Ousmane Sonko : le ministère de l'Urbanisme réagit
The Ministry of Urban Planning, Local Authorities, and Territorial Development responded on Sunday, April 5, 2026, to a controversial post shared on social media by Mr. Baye Mayoro Diop. In an official statement, the office of Minister Moussa Bala Fofana condemned the remarks, deemed "particularly serious," directed at Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
The affair is causing a major stir online in Senegal. A screenshot of a post attributed to Baye Mayoro Diop, a high-ranking civil servant, is circulating widely. The message is unequivocal and unusually virulent for a state employee: "On this solemn day, I have only one demand: the immediate dismissal of this worthless little PM Ousmane Sonko." This outburst prompted a reaction from his superiors on Sunday.
Faced with what he calls "unacceptable attacks," the Minister of Urban Planning felt compelled to set the record straight. In a statement sent to our newsroom, the ministry "condemns such actions in the strongest possible terms." According to the ministerial authority, these remarks are in "total contradiction with the requirements of responsibility, restraint, and loyalty inherent in the exercise of any public function, particularly for an official holding high administrative office."
The ministry was keen to exonerate the administration of any involvement in this media appearance. It was stated, "in the clearest possible terms," that these statements, "expressed in a strictly personal capacity, in no way commit the Ministry, its authorities, or the administration as a whole."
The statement also reveals that Baye Mayoro Diop's behavior was already under close monitoring. The public is informed that "since September 2025, he has been summoned on several occasions by the Minister and the Secretary General for reprimands and notification of the sanctions he faces."
It remains to be seen whether further, more severe sanctions will be taken against the official.
