Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has claimed that the cabal surrounding President Bola Tinubu is more powerful and dangerous than the one that operated during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Dalung alleged that Tinubu’s cabal comprises highly educated, ambitious, and refined individuals who possess an intricate understanding of power dynamics.
According to The PUNCH, he said this makes them more adept at manipulating governance and isolating the president.
“They are educated and have a sound knowledge of what power is,” he said. “Their capacity to manipulate power, stifle information, and control access to the president makes them more dangerous than any cabal in the history of this country.”
Dalung compared this to Buhari’s cabal, which he described as less sophisticated, and composed of individuals with limited political and administrative experience. He argued that while Buhari’s cabal had parochial motives, their lack of strategic depth mitigated their overall influence.
