A Former Youth and Sports Minister, SOLOMON DALUNG, has described the cabals around President Bola Tinubu as dangerous.
Speaking during a televised interview yesterday the former minister said former president MUHAMMADU BUHARI was a stranger in his government as members of the cabals took over the running of the administration.
The ex-minister said while members of the cabals around Buhari were not too educated, the powerbrokers around TINUBU are sophisticated, ambitious, and educated, with sound knowledge of power dynamics.
DALUNG cited the capacity of members of the cabals around TINUBU to manipulate power, build barricades around the president, and stifle information and human traffic from the president.
It could be recalled that in July 2024, Tinubu, who narrowly won a keenly contested election in February 2023, and was sworn in on May 29, 2023, said he was not answerable to any cabal or moneybag.
