A former minister of sports, Solomon Dalung, has said President Bola Tinubu should not be compared with great leaders like Sardauna and Awolowo, saying the president is a ‘dwarf’ in Nigeria’s political history.
Dalung while speaking as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, said great leaders build legacies and serve their people.
“Great leaders build legacies. They served the people. They worked for the people. If he is a great strategist as is being speculated, let us see this being translated into action. Tinubu cannot manage insecurity, economy, and even a common palliative rolled out for the purpose of augmenting some of his economic policies”, said Dalung.
When Dalung was asked if Tinubu can be defeated in the 2027 presidential election considering that he is a political heavyweight and a renowned strategist, he stated that if Tinubu is a renowned maverick, his strategies should have translated into changes in the nation’s economic and security conundrum.
Dalung said that Tinubu has not been able to replicate his performance as Lagos governor on the national stage, saying ” “His strategies should be seen in his performances, not somebody who is failing in everything. The economy is in shambles, corruption is flourishing. Where did this great strategist make an impact for the benefit of Nigerians?”
