The letter, dated September 15, is addressed to the Head of State, Macky Sall. ” Mr President, I have come to inform you that it has come back to me from very credible sources that elements close to your entourage and that of the First Lady would consider actions of physical neutralization, so that the substitute entitled to sit can replace permanently in the National Assembly », écrit Aminata Toure.

“Mimi” Touré – as she is nicknamed – had already contested, in particular on RFI, the choice of the candidate of power for the post of President of the National Assembly. A choice dictated, according to her, by family ties “, in between on the one hand Amadou Mame Diop, elected on Mondayand on the other Marième Faye Sall, the wife of the President of the Republic, as well as her brother Mansour Faye, mayor of Saint-Louis.

« A committee in charge of the invectives of the Alliance for the Republic (the presidential party) has already been set up and got to work the day I expressed my disagreement “continues the former Prime Minister (September 2013-July 2014) in his letter.

This is a new conflicting episode of a checkered political partnership with the Head of State. Even if for the time being, “Mimi” Touré has assured it: she remains a member of the majority.
