Tinubu insensitive to Nigerians plight; his govt plagued by corruption, nepotism – Ex minister, Dalung

• He also wondered why Tinubu would ask Nigerians to sacrifice, love and believe in the country when nothing he has done since assuming office exemplifies these values and traits

Nigeria’s former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, has lashed out at president Bola Tinubu’s government, describing it as corrupt and ignoble.

Dalung stated that there is a gulf in the actions and deeds of the Tinubu’s government and the parlous state of the nation, adding that the president is indifferent to the sufferings of Nigerians.

In series of tweets on his X handle on Monday, Dalung suggested that President Tinubu’s government may have been hijacked by a cabal.

He also wondered why Tinubu would ask Nigerians to sacrifice, love and believe in the country when nothing he has done since assuming office exemplifies these values and traits.

Recall that Tinubu recently asked Nigerians to sacrifice and believe in the country, in his Sallah message to Muslims.

The former sport minister said that the President’s body language betrayed him completely from the socio-economic reality of Nigeria, noting that sacrifice must begin with Tinubu himself.

He said: “I listened to @officialABAT calling on Nigerians again to sacrifice, love, and believe in the country. Could this be mockery of the suffering of the masses, or he genuinely believe in what he was saying? If President Tinubu is sincere about what he’s saying, then it’s confirmation that his government is under siege by the notorious cabal.

“The President’s body language betrayed him completely from the social reality. He is in his own world distinct from the hardships confronting Nigerians. From my analysis of the speech, Nigeria is on auto pilot dangerous navigating turbulence.

“Does President Tinubu know that Nigerians are suffering? Certainly not, his reckless economic policies, wasteful expenditures, plundering of resources, insensitivity to plights of citizens, boastful and egoistic squandering of goodwill, adoption of corruption and nepotism as state policies are the characteristics of this ignoble regime.

“Sacrifice should begin with @officialABAT and his jumbo size government, then Nigerians can take him serious, but for now it’s mere rhetorics and propaganda.”
