Ex-minister Dalung says Tinubu has changed from Lagos governor days
Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, told Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday that President Bola Tinubu has changed from the leader he was known to be as Lagos State governor. Dalung said many Nigerians elected Tinubu not because they love the ruling APC but because they believed he would replicate the economic transformation he allegedly achieved in Lagos across the country.
He claimed Tinubu has become 'very parochial and has lost focus,' describing him as 'so full of himself.' According to Dalung, the president’s current conduct fails to match the image of a 'Lagos magician' that won him voter trust in the last election.
The comments highlight a growing disconnect between voter expectations—based on Tinubu’s Lagos record—and his perceived performance at the national level. Dalung’s remarks suggest supporters may feel misled if Tinubu does not deliver on the promised nationwide renewal.
Will you re‑evaluate your support for Tinubu based on his current performance, or wait for more evidence before the 2027 elections?
