Solomon Dalung, former minister of Youth and Sports, has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s government over a recent call for more sacrifice on the part of Nigerians despite the widespread hardships.
Describing the comment as a mockery of the suffering masses, he urged President Tinubu to cut down the size of his appointees.
Dalung knocked the president over his alleged disconnect from social reality, saying he is out of touch with the hardships faced by Nigerians.
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 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.”
