Solomon Dalung, Former Minister Lashes President Tinubu Led Government As He takes Full Stage In The Protest.

Solomon Dalung, Former Minister of Sport and Youth Development under President Buhari, an APC Government that just ended last year has shown huge displeasure in the leading pattern of President Tinubu. He was spotted leading the anti-government protest in Jos, Plateau State, last Thursday, August 1, was at an open-air church service held by the protesters on Sunday, August 4, in Jos, Plateau State.

 

Solomon Dalung, who served as a Minister of Youth and Sports Development, under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s national broadcast, seeking an end to the ongoing nationwide hunger protest.

 

Speaking to journalists at the Sunday service held at the Old Airport Roundabout, with a large crowd of protesters, including Christian and Muslim leaders, Dalung described Tinubu’s broadcast as empty, insisting that the protest was far from finished.

 

The ex-minister said: “The President did not say anything in his speech. He did not appeal to the protesters to stop the protest. He only threatened them and told the security agencies to continue with the clampdown, shooting and killing. He did not even address Nigerians. He was just talking to himself and members of his cabinet. All these things he said only go to strengthen our resolve to continue with this protest.”
