Former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, expressed his views on the contrasting approaches of Presidents Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari regarding the security situation in Nigeria. During an appearance on Arise Television, Dalung claimed that Buhari was successful in restoring government control in areas previously held by Boko Haram, while he criticized Tinubu's administration for failing to achieve similar results. He highlighted that under Buhari's leadership, approximately 24 local government areas in the North-East were reclaimed from Boko Haram, a significant achievement he believes is often overlooked in discussions about Buhari's legacy. Dalung's comments reflect ongoing concerns about the current government's handling of security issues in the country.
