Solomon Dalung, a former Minister of Youth and Sports, has criticized the individuals influencing President Bola Tinubu’s administration. In his view, Tinubu’s cabal is not only more dangerous than the one that surrounded ex-President Muhammadu Buhari but also more sophisticated and deeply entrenched in power.
Dalung shared these concerns during an appearance on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, Mic On. He explained that this cabal has been in the corridors of power for years and is highly experienced in wielding influence. According to Dalung, this group creates a wall around Tinubu, preventing him from fully understanding the challenges facing Nigeria today.
The former minister believes that this disconnect could have serious implications for governance, as decisions may not reflect the reality of the country’s struggles. Dalung’s warning raises critical questions about the role of hidden influencers in Nigerian politics and how they shape leadership.
As Nigeria grapples with various socio-economic issues, the influence of political cabals continues to spark debate about transparency and accountability in governance.
