A former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has claimed that ex-President Muhammadu Buhari was used to eliminate his predecessor, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Dalung said the political elites, however, dumped Buhari after using him to eliminate Jonathan.
The former Minister spoke while featuring on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, Mic On.
He also alleged that the political elites hijacked Buhari’s government from him after he was used.
According to Dalung: “Buhari was used and dumped, his charisma was needed at that point in time by the political elites to eliminate Jonathan.
“And shortly after Buhari had taken over power, these sets of political elites emerged and hijacked the government and Buhari was a stranger.
“I can say this at any point in time that Buhari was a stranger in his own government and I can collaborate this.
“I went to see the president when I was out of office in 2020 and I told him ‘Mr president this wasn’t what we told Nigerians, we campaigned and convinced Nigerians and when I look at the type of investment the common people put in our government and here we are today with insecurity.”
