The Presidency has declared that there is no cabal operating at the Aso Rock villa.
The Special Adviser to the President on Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare revealed that President Bola Tinubu remains fully in control of the nation’s governance.
Dare stated this while speaking on a television programme “Politics on Sunday,” hosted by Femi Akande, on the topic: “Rebuilding Nigeria Through the Tinubu Reforms,” in clarifying the misconception around a so-called cabal at the seat of power.
According to Dare, the term “cabal” has been misapplied to individuals who, due to their key roles, hold regular briefings with the president.
Dare, a former Sports Minister, stated that these figures are simply essential advisors who provide critical information for decision-making.
He said, “I think we’ve become so comfortable with the idea of the cabal, and you must understand how the idea of the Cabal, the people they call the Cabal, are the people that are holding the key sectors of the economy.
“These are people who are advisors, who must advise the President on trends, who must put critical data in front of him, and they have access to him. How does access turn you into a member of the cabal?
“The Minister of Finance, for instance, sees him (Tinubu) on a constant basis to show him all the indicators so that they can see it, they must have constant meetings.
“The President is 100 per cent in charge and he has always been from day one, and he has shown it when the CBN cybersecurity tax came up, the president canceled it because he dealt with what the facts are,” Dare stated.
