Buhari’s Minister Joins Protest, Blasts ‘Cowards’ Mum To Hardship

Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari joined the protest against hardship on Thursday saying “that every onlooker is either a coward or a traitor; we are not cowards and we are not traitors; Nigerians deserve a better deal.

GWG.ng reports that he spoke as the nationwide protest against hunger touched ground in Jos, Plateau State.

He recalled with nostalgia, how they enjoyed the privilege of attending better schools, and were fed well with delicious meals.

“Today, we are alive and at sixty and over, we cannot fold our arms and pretend that if we have not been able to all these years, build a better country, that a better nation is not possible.

“I’m here today to stand in solidarity with the people of Nigeria, that we need a better country”, he admonished.

“We might as leaders have made mistakes in the past, but our mistake is not evident that we cannot change the future of this country!

According to him, “All of you are aware that I, Solomon Selcap Dalung, was part of those who campaigned vigorously and brought APC to government.

“I served in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, for three and half years, I have come out publicly and own up to Nigerians that the promise we made, we failed; and that we failed does not mean that Nigeria cannot make it.

“And therefore, if Nigerians have decided that this country should move forward, we cannot pretend that because we failed, Nigeria has failed.

“Therefore, I’m going to use this opportunity to apologise to Nigerians, that as a human being, I didn’t know that this is where we are going to take this country.

“I cannot live in lamentation and pretend, I identify with the people of this country, and we apologise because we are human beings.

“If we have the wisdom to know that this was where we were driving the country, we wouldn’t have even attempted it”, Dalung said as he decried the hardship in the land that drew out people to protest.

The protesters trekked from the secretariat junction to the old airport junction in Jos.
