A former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has accused the Federal Government of buying state institutions, including non-performing governors.
Dalung made the accusation at a protest against the Senate’s approval of both electronic transmission and manual collation of election results at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
He lamented that everyone has endorsed the federal government, adding that even notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking during the protest, he said, “Is there anybody that is sidelined in Tinubu’s government? A government that is going about buying people. It has even bought non-performing governors to its side. Where does that government get the concept to sideline?
“A government that is desperately looking for people for endorsement. It has been endorsed by almost everybody. Bandits have even endorsed it. Bandit Turji has registered as an APC member.
“The governors are defecting. INEC may defect. The Supreme Court will defect. Police will defect. The Army will defect. Is it a desperate government that can sideline anybody? Not certainly, not at all. Is it a credible government that will set the boundaries for people and sideline? But this one that is already sinking, a sinking ship.”
