Former Sports Minister Solomon Dalung slams President Tinubu's call for Nigerians to sacrifice, saying it should begin with the President and his government. Accuses Tinubu's administration of reckless policies and insensitivity to citizens' hardships.
Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu's call for Nigerians to make sacrifices for the country. Tinubu appealed during his Eid-el-Kabir address, stating that sacrifices are required from citizens to move the nation forward. However, Dalung questioned the President's sincerity and accused him of being out of touch with the hardships faced by the masses.
In a scathing post on social media, Dalung suggested that Tinubu's government is under the control of a "notorious cabal." He accused the administration of reckless economic policies, wasteful expenditures, plundering of resources, insensitivity to citizens' plights, boastfulness, and the adoption of corruption and nepotism as state policies.
Dalung argued that if Tinubu is sincere about his call for sacrifice, it should begin with the President and his "jumbo-sized government." He stated that until Tinubu and his cabinet lead by example, Nigerians cannot take the President's rhetoric seriously.
The former minister's criticism has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some agree with Dalung's assessment and question the sincerity of Tinubu's call, others have accused him of hypocrisy, citing his silence during the previous administration's failures.
The controversy highlights the growing frustration among Nigerians over the country's economic and security challenges, as well as the perceived disconnect between the government's rhetoric and the lived experiences of the masses.
