“‘El-Rufai Surrendered!’ — Dalung Blasts Former Governor, Calls It His ‘Greatest Political Mistake’”
Former Minister Solomon Dalung has sparked fresh political controversy after openly criticizing Nasir El-Rufai, describing his alleged decision to surrender to authorities as a serious miscalculation.
Speaking during an interview on Trust TV, Dalung argued that the situation surrounding El-Rufai reflects fear on the part of authorities rather than strength.
⚠️ “Comrades Don’t Surrender”
Dalung, known for his outspoken views, insisted that individuals involved in political struggles are expected to resist pressure rather than give in.
“El-Rufai surrendered. That’s the greatest mistake he made as a comrade. Comrades don’t surrender,” he stated.
According to him, voluntarily submitting to authorities can weaken a political figure’s position and expose them to possible humiliation.
✈️ Alleged Failed Arrest Attempts
Dalung further claimed that there had been earlier attempts to detain El-Rufai, including an incident at an airport, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
He suggested that authorities were cautious, fearing that a forceful arrest could trigger unrest or backlash.
🧠 Power Play or Political Strategy?
The former minister framed the situation as a broader political struggle, where decisions like surrendering or resisting can shape public perception and influence outcomes.
Political observers say such statements highlight the high-stakes nature of Nigeria’s political landscape, where actions are often interpreted through the lens of power, resistance, and strategy.
🌍 Mixed Reactions Trail Comments
Dalung’s remarks have generated mixed reactions:
- Supporters say his comments reflect the realities of political resistance
- Critics argue that respect for legal processes should come first
The development adds another layer to ongoing discussions about governance, power dynamics, and political accountability in Nigeria.
