K'oje Slams Dalung

A former Minister of Sports, Bala Ka’Oje, has
slammed the current Minister of Youth and
Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, for
threatening to declare `state of emergency’ in
the sector.

Ka’Oje told newsmen in Abuja that the comment
was totally wrong, noting that Dalung has no right
to do so.
Ka’Oje said that Dalung minister declaring state
of emergency in sports meant that he had
enough money to pump into the sector and turn
it around without necessarily involving President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“Is good to declare a state of emergency but is
the minister the president of the country?”
Ka’Oje quipped.
“It’s only the president that has the right to do
that in any sector he likes for it to make
meaning. This is because, only the president
know where and how to get funding to achieve
the desired result of the declaration of
emergency in that sector.”
“So, if a minister declares a state of emergency,
where will he get the money to fund the
declaration apart from the normal budgetary
provision he gets annually? The major ingredient
in sports development is funding”.
He urged the minister to think of returning the
National Sports Commission (NSC) and ensuring
that a law backing its establishment was passed
in the National Assembly.
