Wednesday, January 17, 2024 – Solomon Dalung, ex-Minister of Sports, has said that the people around former President Muhammadu Buhari did not allow ministers to see him while he was in office.
Dalung, appeared on the Channels Television programme,
Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
During the TV interview, he said that most of the ministers
who worked under Buhari could only see the president after the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
“There are people within the presidency that you see as just
mere aides but they are more powerful even than the ministers,” Dalung said.
“They even block them from seeing the president. I can
remember while we were in the office many of my colleagues didn’t have the
privilege to see the president. Some of them could only see the president after
the Federal Executive Council meeting.
“They put up memos to see the president. These custodians
will determine when to see the president and how.”
He added, “Those who did not like the president had their
way because they formed the parameter that was around the president and allowed
people to assess him but to be very fair and honest to President Buhari, he
loves the truth because if you were able to assess him and tell him the truth,
he will listen.”
