The Jakaarlo columnist on the TFM, Badara Gadiaga, has been at the heart of a lively controversy for a few days. In question: a complaint filed by the International Center for Foreign Trade in Senegal (CICES) for false and use of false. The institution accuses him of having used a false BFEM diploma to integrate his ranks several years ago. A case that feeds media debates and which raises many questions about his professional career.
But Friday evening, far from fleeing the spotlight, Badara Gadiaga chose to go up to the niche. In front of the cameras and with his usual cutting tone, he wanted to respond to his detractors, while directly addressing the highest authorities in the state. “The complaint that you have heard about lately, the valets and groves that have dealt with it, I don’t care,” he said. Taking it directly to the figures of power, he continued: “I speak directly to President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, with whom I held meetings of the time when he was in the opposition, and to his Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. The one that will prevent me from speaking does not exist. »»
Badara Gadiaga took advantage of this outing to reaffirm his attachment to democracy and freedom of expression, values that he says he defends with fervor: “It is a legacy at home that I preserve. I will defend this beautiful democracy. I am living the most beautiful moments of my life because I am in a station where we defend democracy. »»
