FCT, Abuja – The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has lashed out at former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung for criticizing the construction of roads in the nationâs capital, Abuja.
Dalung had claimed that the construction of roads in Abuja was no development.
Wike said Dalung was blinded by his hatred for him and the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
As reported by Daily Trust, Wikeâs Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, made this known in a statement issued on Friday, January 10.
The former Rivers state governor said Dalungâs tenure as sports minister during former president Muhammadu Buhariâs administration was disastrous.
He added that:
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Dalung said considering the state of the nation, it is obvious that he needs to make his opinions known.
In an interview with TimesNow.com.ng, Dalung said voicing out would draw the attention of those in power to âthe current situation on the groundâ.
This, he said, may also lead to urgent steps being expedited to salvage the situation in the interest of the masses.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Dalung said leaders who ask followers to sacrifice for a better Nigeria must also lead by example.
In an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, Dalung said President Tinubu cannot be talking about the ordinary Nigerians ‘sacrificing’ while his cabinet is bloated.
Dalung lamented Nigeria’s cost of governance since Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023.
