I saw better in the person of Cheikh Ba (Editor's note: Director of Taxes and Domains) and I sided with him ", she justifies. What about his relationship with President Wade's son. The dancer reveals that she knew Karim Wade through a campaign. "I was for his father Abdoulaye Wade and I was paid to run a caravan … So, I can say that I sold my image for the re-election of Wade. At this time, ironically, it was Macky Sall who had the budget of the campaign, "said Oumou Sow. She continues: "Very often, I was with Karim Wade in the field, to praise the merits of his father.
