Posted by The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, is not one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s pushover ministers, according to Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, a member of the Security and Intelligence Committee of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
On Thursday, Mumuni, the former Congress for Progressives Congress (CPC) candidate for governor of Lagos State in 2011, made this admission.
According to information obtained by kuryaloaded, Dare received the title of Sarkin Wasanni on Thursday from the Daura Emirate Council, which is led by His Royal Highness, Umar Faruk Umar, the Emir of Daura in Katsina State.
The Minister has received accolades for winning the chieftaincy title from prominent Nigerians, including President Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for 2023.
However, Mumuni stated in his response that the title’s conferral has demonstrated that the Minister is not the incumbent Minister’s pushover.
The awarding of the title, according to Mumuni, is an endorsement of what the Minister stands for, according to a statement signed by his media assistant, Mr. Rasheed Abubakar, and provided to kuryaloaded Thursday evening.
The APC leader noted that the Minister had made contributions to the growth of sports not only in Daura, the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari, but was also responsible for the discovery of Odunayo Adekuoroye, a wrestler from Nigeria who won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and Tobi Amusan, the continent’s best female athlete right now.
Dare has demonstrated superior ideas for getting things back to work than most of his predecessors, the speaker continued.
The title’s bestowal shows that Dare, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, is not one of the current serving Ministers’ pushovers, according to Mumuni.
“He has accomplished more at the Ministry than any of his predecessors. The moms of the late Rashidi Yekini, Samuel Okwaraji, and quarter-miler Sunday Bada have received his aid, while the families of the late coaches Shuaibu Amodu, Stephen Keshi, and Mudashiru Lawal Manga Muhammed are now covered by his monthly welfare program.
“Through the launch of the Adoption Campaign in 2019, shortly after his appointment as the head of the Ministry, he was also the driving force behind the discovery of Odunayo Adekuoroye, the Nigerian wrestler who won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and Tobi Amusan, the current best female athlete in Africa.
He had renovated unused athletic facilities all around the nation, including the stadium in the Daura municipality.
