Former Minister of Sports and Youth, Solomon Dalung, has
accused President Bola Tinubu of falling prey to fuel subsidy criminals.
Dalung said this in a recent interview with Trust Radio, while
giving a review of the current administration.
“He goofed full-time by playing into the hands of subsidy
racketeers, by making the statement that subsidy was gone. And Nigerians have
not recovered from that trauma,” Dalung said.
He, however, said Tinubu should reintroduce 50 percent if it
is necessary to remove subsidies.
The ex-minister also said that Tinubu must defend Naira,
“because allowing the Naira to float, is just like sending a soldier to go to
war naked”.
The former minister urged the president to save the lives of
Nigerians and redeem his name as they can no longer sacrifice for the future,
due to his economic policies that “doesn’t have a human face”.
Dalung argued that people are in hardship and dying of
hunger due to current hardship facing the nation that needs to be addressed.
He said, “The promise that Nigerians can sacrifice for the
future is unattainable, and it makes him look like a wicked leader, he must
redeem his name because people are dying of hunger and you are asking them to
sacrifice. So if they sacrifice and all die, who will see the future?”.
“He needs to save lives first, before he talks about
economic policies, His economic policies should have a human face. Otherwise he
will end up like Buhari,” he said.
