For those who have had a close contact with the current minister for youths and sport, will agree to the fact that; he is a bright and intelligent chap. For the All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to have had him as his media aide for years, shows he is a trusted and loyal person.
Sunday Dare had over the years displayed distinct traits of greatness, his appointment didn’t come as a shock to those who know him as his addition to the next level team will surely be felt, most especially in his ministry. Sunday is that person who is ready to heed to positive advice that will drive the large youth population in Nigeria to become the best on the African continent if not the world.
The former journalist turn politician is known to have been Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s close ally, Yes, they share filial relationship. During his days as an executive member of the, NCC, he showed that his Midas Touch of gold would help restructure that sector, therefore bringing sanity to the telecom business, giving power to the consumer than the service providers.
Few weeks ago, when the former executive commissioner, stakeholder management of the Nigerian Communication commission (NCC), was listed as a ministerial nominee, there was mixed reaction from several people who felt Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has yet again planted one of his men to be on the next level cabinet. The likes of Tunde Fashola, Rauf Aregbesola, Olorunnibe Mamora, Alhaji Lai Mohamed and Sunday Dare and a host of others.
Those who have been following the recent political happenings will attest to the fact that, there are some unconfirmed rumours making the round that; Asiwaju Tinubu might contest for the presidency in 2023, which may have allowed him lobbied for his loyalist to be in the cabinet so as to enhance him a soft landing during the process of the polls.
A close divulged to CITYSPY that; many people thought Asiwaju Tinubu helped Sunday Dare his former media aide secured the ministerial slot from the presidency but to the disappointment of many that’s not the true story. “Sunday Dare is not a noise maker, he is a gentle but intelligent and brilliant man, who is strategic about his move. I am sure he learnt that from his former boss, Asiwaju Tinubu. His appointment was not facilitated by Asiwaju Tinubu, it was facilitated by former vice presidential candidate, Alhaji Babagana Kingibe, of the Social Democratic Party SDP with MKO Abiola, of the annulled June 12 election. Akinwunmi Ambode was supposed to make that list also but his name was removed at the last minute and replaced.” Sunday Dare is also eying the Oyo state Governor seat in 2023. The ministerial job serves as a platform to prepare him for the governorship election of Oyo in 2023.
Many wondered the connection between Sunday Dare and Babagana Kingibe, but the truth is that, Kingibe is a close ally to the President Muhammadu Buhari, along side media icon, Mallam Isa Funtua, they are regarded the most influential people in Nigeria today.
A close source further divulged to CITYSPY that; “Babagana Kingibe is positioning himself to contest for the office of the President in 2023. He is currently building his structure, gathering resources and support from people. He is considering using Kola Abiola as his running mate. It’s too early to say but let me tell you for free, the North agenda is to push Kingibe to clinch the presidency seat after Buhari.”
