Ex-Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, on Sunday passed a damning judgment on former President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his administration failed woefully.

This is as the former minister, who served under Buhari’s government, noted that the former president failed to fulfill the promises made to Nigerians during the 2015 campaign.

Dalung, who stated this in an interview with Trust Radio, monitored by Persecondnews, said as a founding member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), he has the responsibility to speak the truth.

He said: “We failed to meet our expectations, and I am not hypocritical because as a major stakeholder who campaigned vigorously in 2015 and went to the nooks and crannies of the north, of all the promises we made, we fulfilled none of them.

“Looking back, reflecting and evaluating the situation as it is today, we failed woefully.”

Dalung described Buhari as a very honest leader, who believed that everybody around him were honest.

“He is a very honest man who believed that everybody around him was an honest person, he brought them and trusted them. Today, I believe he is living in regret.

“They have dragged his name and integrity into the mud and they have reduced his image,” Dalung said.
