In a recent interview with Channels TV, Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, took a strong stance against rumors suggesting the presence of a “cabal” operating within the Nigerian presidency. He emphasized that these claims are unfounded and insisted that President Tinubu is fully in control of the nation’s governance.
Dare explained that the term “cabal” has often been misapplied in discussions about the presidency. He pointed out that some individuals who regularly brief the president are not part of any secretive group but are, in fact, key advisors. These advisors play a vital role in informing the president and aiding in decision-making processes. Dare stressed that their regular interactions with the president do not indicate any hidden agenda but rather reflect their importance in supporting effective governance.
To further reinforce his point, Dare highlighted specific actions taken by President Tinubu that demonstrate his leadership and authority. A significant example is Tinubu’s recent decision to cancel a controversial cybersecurity tax proposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. This decision not only showed the president’s responsiveness to public concerns but also illustrated his capability to make decisive moves that align with his administration’s priorities.
Dare’s remarks serve to reassure citizens that the presidency operates under the clear guidance of President Tinubu. He reiterated that the president remains committed to addressing the challenges facing the country and that there is no influence from any supposed cabal.
In his interview, Dare also touched on the broader agenda of the Tinubu administration. He asserted that the government is focused on implementing policies that promote transparency, accountability, and progress. By directly engaging with advisors and making informed decisions, Tinubu aims to foster a government that works for all Nigerians.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Dare’s comments provide a sense of stability and confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership. By dismissing rumors of an inner circle exerting control, he reinforces the idea that the president is at the helm, ready to steer the nation towards a better future.
