Tinubu cabals, most dangerous in Nigeria’s history, says ex-minister

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.

Fubara has missed opportunity to settle with Wike – Rivers APC chairman

Tony Okocha, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, has expressed scepticism about the possibility of a political truce in the state this year.

Okocha blamed Governor Siminalayi Fubara for failing to extend goodwill during ex-Governor Nyesom Wike’s recent birthday celebrations.

He argued that the altercation between the two political figures would not end soon, insisting that Fubara missed an opportunity to mend fences with Wike during the festive season.

In an interview on Arise Television, Okocha stated that the ongoing rift between the governor and his predecessor, now FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, could have been mitigated during the festive season if Fubara had shown a gesture of reconciliation.

His words: “I don’t see Rivers State coming out of this quagmire in 2025. The festive season was a time for convivialities and goodwill. A simple message to celebrate his former boss’s birthday could have made a difference, but instead, the governor is threatening brimstone and fire.”

Okocha also weighed in on Wike’s remarks about former Governor Peter Odili, interpreting them as advice for Odili to remain neutral in the dispute.

“The role of a father is not to take sides when children are having disagreements,” he noted.
