Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has dismissed President Bola Tinubu’s reputation as a political heavyweight, describing him instead as a “dwarf in Nigerian political history.”
Dalung made the remarks on Sunday, February 9, while appearing on Channels Television.
Asked if Tinubu could be defeated in the 2027 presidential election, he responded: “Tinubu is a dwarf in Nigerian political history, and he should not be compared with great leaders like Sardauna and Awolowo.”
Dalung argued that true political strategy should be reflected in governance outcomes.
“Because 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,” he said.
He accused the President of failing to replicate at the national level what he achieved as governor of Lagos State.
According to him, Nigerians are yet to see clear improvements in the economy or security.
“Tinubu cannot manage insecurity, economy, and even a common palliative rolled out for the purpose of augmenting some of his economic policies,” Dalung said.
The former minister further alleged that corruption is worsening under Tinubu’s leadership.
“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?” he asked.
