Solomon Dalung, former minister of sports, has come out to exposed that former President Muhammadu Buhari was used to overthrow former President Goodluck Jonathan.

However, Dalung stated that after using Buhari to remove Jonathan, he was abandoned.

The former minister made this statement on Mic On, a podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye.

Additionally, he said that when Buhari was used, the political elites took control of his government.

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.”
