Solomon Dalung, the former Minister of Youth and Sports, has sharply criticized the Tinubu-led government for its recent call for sacrifice, describing it as a mockery of the suffering masses.
In a heartfelt post on his X.com account on Monday, Dalung contended that if President Tinubu truly cares about the nation’s prosperity, he should begin by making sacrifices himself, starting with reducing the size of his “jumbo-sized” government.
Dalung also highlighted the president’s disconnect from the harsh realities faced by everyday Nigerians, accusing him of being out of touch with their struggles.
He wrote, “I listened to #officialABAT calling on Nigerians again to sacrifice, love, and believe in the country. Could this be mockery of the suffering of the masses, or does he genuinely believe in what he was saying?”
“If President Tinubu is sincere about what he’s saying, then it’s confirmation that his government is under siege by the notorious cabal.
“The president’s body language betrayed him completely from the social reality. He is in his own world distinct from the hardships confronting Nigerians.
“From my analysis of the speech, Nigeria is on auto pilot dangerous navigating turbulence.
“Does President Tinubu knows that Nigerians are suffering? Certainly not, his reckless economic policies, wasteful expenditures, plundering of resources, insensitivity to plights of citizens, boastful and egoistic squndering of goodwill, adoption of corruption and nepotism as state policies are the characteristics of this ignoble regime.
Sacrifice should begin with #officialABAT and his jumbo size government, then Nigerians can take him serious, but for now it’s mere rhetorics and propaganda.”
