Dalung Claims Dangerous Cabal Is Influencing Tinubu’s Government Decisions

Published

on


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.
