Wade was born in Saint Louis, Senegal; officially, he was born in 1926, although some claim he was born several years earlier, and the record-keeping of the time is not considered particularly reliable.

It is considered probable that Wade had other children and that Karim and Sindjely are the legitimate ones.

Also in 1978, Wade was elected to the National Assembly, where he served until 1980.

Following riots in February 1994, Wade was arrested along with many others for allegedly threatening state security.

On October 15, 2006, Wade was nominated as presidential candidate of the PDS for the February 2007 presidential election.

Wade was sworn in for his second term on April 3 at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium in Dakar, with many African leaders and about 60,000 spectators in attendance.

At the July 2007 African Union summit in Accra, Ghana, Wade supported quick formation of the proposed United States of Africa and said: "If we fail to unite, we will become weak, and if we live isolated in countries that are divided, we face the risk of collapsing in the face of stronger and united economies.

Along with other major African leaders, Wade was an advocate for the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), established in 2001 to tackle African poverty at an international level.

It is also true that Wade has good reasons to be unhappy with the initiative for more reasons than one.

President Wade has been complaining about the delay in moving NEPAD to the AU.

But the fact that NEPAD has not moved to Addis Ababa as Wade and most African leaders would prefer, the fact that Wade has a more or less permanent gripe with the Secretariat Management team, for whatever reasons, does not give him the right to talk down his peers at the AU summits as if he is the all knowing president of Africa.

And one did not have to be a genius to detect that Wade was reading the inability of NEPAD moving to Addis Ababa as the work of Mbeki who probably would like to see NEPAD head office remain in Midrand for some unexplained reasons.

The good news is that Wade has asked for a brainstorming session in Abuja some time this year where hopefully all these misconceptions about NEPAD will be sorted out.
