I think what played out here is a war between national interest and personal ego. And national interest lost the war woefully. Personal ego won and won triumphantly in Tokyo. Nigeria is back to square one, unfortunately,\u201d the former minister said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was the minister, I continued from where my predecessor ended. When we get to the field, we built on previous successes, and Nigeria did very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDissolving federations three months to Olympics is an indication that we are not prepared for Olympics. No (Army) general dissolves his troops on the eve of an attack and expect to win a war. The dissolved boards have trained and catered for the athletes for more than two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrises are part of human existence. The management is what determines the quality of leadership. I inherited many crises, but I resolved them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeadership is about taking responsibilities. When things go wrong, somebody has to be responsible. The entire drama of shame is avoidable. This is a shame that the country has found itself.\u201d<!--\/data\/user\/0\/com.samsung.android.app.notes\/files\/share\/clipdata_210806_174350_162.sdoc--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former minister of sports, Solomob Dalung has stated that the Sunday Dare-led administration must take responsibility for the &#8220;shame&#8221; it brought to Nigeria at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
