Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung has graciously explained how he rendered the alleged cabal in the sports sector useless during an interview with BSN sports.

Solomon Dalung who advised the new minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare that he should not allow himself to be intimidated by the cabal rather contribute his meaningful quota to make Nigeria sports grow.

I have fought with the untouchable cabal during my tenure. I have no doubts that Dare would have a smooth administration because I won the fight against the cabal in the Nigeria Football Federation and National Sports Commission, Dalung disclosed in the interview.

Dalung told BSN Sports that when he came in as a new minister, he told them that he’s an undertaker and he will step on toes which he exactly did because he does not want the next minister to be intimidated by cabals.

“I sacrificed myself so that nobody can intimidate the next minister because I have dealt with the untouchables. Before I came as Minister of Sports, no one dared the Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission the way I did and I left unhurt. But I did it and ran my full tenure. Nobody could remove or intimidate me.

“I liberated the ministry of sports, therefore, no one can dare Dare among the cabals because I have rendered them powerless,” Dalung added.
