Ex-Minister Reveals Cabals In Tinubu’s Government

The former Nigeria Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung has stated that cabals still exist in the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Dalung connected this with the rejection of Kano State’s ministerial nominee, Dr Maryam Shettima, popularly called Shetty.

The former minister made this known on Tuesday while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.

Recall that Shetty’s name on the ministerial nominees’ list submitted to the Senate was then withdrawn and replaced with that of Mariya Mahmoud.

Dalung declared that there is still an existing cabal in the Aso Rock, adding that the same set of people ensured that he did not return as a minister because his tongue was described as “toxic”.

He said: “Even now, there is a cabal in Tinubu’s government, and they will always exist. They are a group of ambitious people with different ambitions within the power base set to hijack power and protect their interests.

“How would a ministerial nominee from Kano State find her name in the list and was told that she isn’t on the list upon confirmation?
