Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has described the power brokers in President Bola Tinubu’s administration as more dangerous and sophisticated than those in the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today program, Dalung claimed that the cabals in Buhari’s administration lacked education and experience in governance, rendering them less effective in manipulating the government.
“Buhari’s cabals were not quite informed, with little experience in politics, public administration, and governance,” Dalung remarked.
In contrast, Dalung characterized Tinubu’s cabals as educated, ambitious, and highly knowledgeable about power dynamics.
He labelled them as “masters” of influence with a long history in governance, making them far more formidable and dangerous.
“These cabals are sophisticated, ambitious, and have a deep understanding of power. They are more dangerous than any cabal in the history of this country,” he said.
Dalung also criticized the pervasive influence of cabals in Nigerian politics, emphasizing their challenges to good governance and accountability.
