Dalung Claims Dangerous Cabal Is Influencing Tinubu’s Government Decisions
Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youths and Sports, has once again pointed out the presence of a dangerous cabal within President Bola Tinubu’s administration, suggesting they are shaping the decisions and actions of the current government.
Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, Dalung emphasized that this influential group was working against the country’s best interests.
Dalung went further to describe the cabal as “dangerous,” claiming their actions are driven by personal gain rather than the welfare of the people or the administration.
He stated, “If you look at the hardship in the country and the president’s reaction, it’s completely a disconnect from the reality we are dealing with.
The cabal’s infrastructure is still effective, influencing the government in ways that go against the president’s intentions.”
He warned that the cabal’s actions, which seem at odds with the president’s plans, are undermining efforts that could have brought positive change to Nigerians.
Their self-serving interests, according to Dalung, are leading to decisions that hurt the nation rather than help it.
Despite revealing his views, Dalung chose not to name the individuals he believes make up the cabal, leaving that task to investigative journalists.
“It’s up to you to dig deeper and uncover the identities of those involved.
I have the right to reserve the names I think are part of the cabal,” he said.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
