Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Dalung, who served under Buhari’s government, shared insights into the power dynamics he observed during his tenure.
Solomon Dalung, a former Minister of Youth and Sports, has raised concerns about the influence of cabals within President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing them as more ambitious and sophisticated than those surrounding former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Dalung, who served under Buhari’s government, shared insights into the power dynamics he observed during his tenure.
He likened Buhari’s situation to that of a “stranger” in his own government.
Dalung drew comparisons between the two administrations, stating that while the cabals around Buhari were less educated and primarily focused on narrow interests, those surrounding Tinubu are far more sophisticated and ambitious.
“Buhari’s government had a cabal, but President Bola Tinubu’s cabal is made up of sophisticated and ambitious people with a long history in power. They are experienced and educated,” Dalung remarked.
He warned that Tinubu might face greater challenges than Buhari due to the cabal’s expertise and ambitions.
“Nigerians should understand when discussions about cabals are raised. It would be unfair to posterity to deny the existence of such dangerous elements,” he added.
