Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has strongly criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, predicting a definitive defeat for the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the 2027 general elections, regardless of political strategies and appointments.
Speaking during an interview on News Central on Friday, Dalung dismissed the influence of high-profile defections and controversial appointments, emphasizing that public discontent will override institutional alignments.
“Even if the 36 state governors defect to the APC and he appoints Seyi Tinubu as the chairman of INEC, and maybe he appoints his wife as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Even if INEC becomes the last institution to decamp to the APC, they are going to be defeated in 2027,” Dalung stated.
The former minister accused the Tinubu administration of waging what he called a “war on the Nigerian people,” citing widespread poverty, hunger, and injustice as indicators of governance failure.
“Nigerians should buckle up for 2027 because the battle line has been drawn by the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The government has weaponised poverty, hunger, and hardship, and has popularised corruption, impunity, and injustice,” he said.
Dalung urged citizens to rally behind an emerging political coalition aimed at challenging the current regime. He described the coalition as the only viable alternative for Nigerians seeking change in the next electoral cycle.
“The only option we have now is to align with the coalition movement to reposition ourselves and confront the government in 2027,” he added.
Dalung, a known critic of successive governments, was Minister under the Buhari administration but has since become vocal in opposition circles.
