Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has strongly criticized the Tinubu-led government for its call for sacrifice, calling it a mockery of the suffering masses.
In a post on X.com on Monday, Dalung argued that if President Tinubu is genuinely committed to the nation’s prosperity, he should start by making sacrifices himself, beginning with his “jumbo-sized” government.
Dalung criticized the president’s disconnect from social reality, stating that 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 does he genuinely believe in what he was saying?”
Dalung continued, “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.”
Dalung further expressed his concerns, “From my analysis of the speech, Nigeria is on auto-pilot dangerously navigating turbulence. Does President Tinubu know that Nigerians are suffering? Certainly not.
His reckless economic policies, wasteful expenditures, plundering of resources, insensitivity to the plights of citizens, boastful and egoistic squandering of goodwill, and the adoption of corruption and nepotism as state policies are the characteristics of this ignoble regime.”
He concluded by emphasizing that sacrifice should begin with President Tinubu and his oversized government.
“Sacrifice should begin with #officialABAT and his jumbo-sized government, then Nigerians can take him seriously, but for now, it’s mere rhetoric and propaganda.”
