WELCOME TO KTNBIO

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has fired back at former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung.

Wike said the tenure of Dalung as minister of sports was disastrous during the administration of former president Muhammadu Buhari.

He said those close to Dalung should be concerned about his mental health, which is daily showing signs of an urgent need for help.

FCT, Abuja – The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has lashed out at former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung for criticizing the construction of roads in the nation’s capital, Abuja. Dalung had claimed that the construction of roads in Abuja was no development.

Wike said Dalung was blinded by his hatred for him and the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

As reported by Daily Trust, Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, made this known in a statement issued on Friday, January 10. The former Rivers state governor said Dalung’s tenure as sports minister during former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was disastrous.

“Dalung, whose tenure as Minister of Youth and Sports was monumentally disastrous even went to the ridiculous extent of saying that dualisation or road construction cannot be emphasized as development because many Nigerians do not have vehicles. 

“To someone under whom Nigeria failed to successively qualify for the Nations Cup, roads are only useful to Nigerians who have vehicles. What a jaundiced reasoning!”

He added that:

“Therefore, one is not bothered that such a character can open his mouth and say anything, no matter how unreasonable. The concern of Nigerians, especially those close to him should be his mental health, which is daily showing signs of an urgent need for help.”
