Asiwaju’s Regime Is Nigeria Project, Not APC- Sunday Dare
Ahead of the upcoming inauguration of the incoming All Progressive Congress (APC) administration, to be led by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Sunday Dare has made public his aspiration to serve in other capacities, other than as Minister of Sports and Youth Development.
Chief Dare dropped the hint by himself on Saturday, while speaking with veteran Sports Journalist Michell Obi on Sports Salsa, on Eagle FM.
Dare said, “my job is done as Sports Minister. I have put in my best and I am ready to move on”.
Chief Dare was responding to a question as to whether he would want to come back for another four years as Sports Minister.
According to him, having done his best in the last 3 and half years, in steering the ministry, and giving both the youths of the country and the nation’s sports sector to new and lofty heights; his desire is now to serve in any other capacity that the President-elect may assign to him, other than the Sports Ministry.
The minister who was Chief of Staff and Media Aide to the President-elect further stated that the foundations, legacies and programmes he initiated have in a great deal, promoted Nigeria globally in the area of youth and sports, and what anyone taking over from him would have to do is, build on his achievements, while imputing fresh ideas.
Until his appointment in 2019 as Minister of Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports, Chief Dare was a practicing veteran journalist.
His legacies in the nation’s sports sector, includes the “adopt an athlete programme”, “adopt a pitch programme” and the unrivaled attention given to Team Nigeria’s Sportsmen and women.
While the adopt a pitch programme has seen the rehabilitation of key sporting infrastructure in the country, including the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja; the adopt an athlete and improved welfare packages for the nation’s athletes were key in Team Nigeria’s excellent outings at the African Games in Morocco; the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham; and the World Athletics Championships in Eugene Oregon, USA.

Nentawe Is a Unifier, Not a Fractionalizer
Cyril Ogar
The North Central Youth Coalition for Asiwaju (NCYCA) wishes to address recent misguided comments and actions by certain unscrupulous elements attempting to undermine the National Chairman of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Yiltwalda Nentawe, and destabilize the harmony currently enjoyed within our ranks.
In a statement released on Monday in Abuja and signed by the National Coordinator of NCYCA, Mr. James Iorkusah, the group condemned these detractors and reaffirmed its unwavering support for the leadership of Prof. Nentawe.
According to the NCYCA, some so-called “support groups” — notably the All Progressives Congress Youth Solidarity Network (APC-YSN) — are not recognized by the official APC structure and therefore lack the legitimacy to speak for the Party. The statement described the APC-YSN as a fringe coalition of political opportunists bent on sowing division and confusion within the Party for the selfish interests of their sponsors.
“The public should not take these impostors seriously,” the statement read.
Contrary to the false narratives being peddled, the NCYCA emphasized that Prof. Nentawe’s leadership is anchored on unity, inclusion, and progress. His actions and policies have consistently demonstrated a sincere commitment to bridging internal divides, fostering collaboration, and promoting a shared vision for the future of the APC.
Since assuming office, Prof. Nentawe has worked tirelessly to strengthen internal cohesion, reconcile differing interests, and ensure that every member of the APC feels heard and valued. It is therefore unthinkable for any genuine stakeholder to call for his resignation on the baseless accusation of being a “disrupter.”
As a recognized youth support organization within the North Central region, the NCYCA urges all Party stakeholders to rally behind Prof. Nentawe in his quest to advance unity, inclusivity, and the expansion of the APC membership base — welcoming all Nigerians of goodwill, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, whose name has been mischievously used by political saboteurs to stoke division.
Under Prof. Nentawe’s leadership, the APC has grown stronger, more participatory, and more representative — providing every member with a voice and an avenue for both personal and community growth.
The NCYCA deeply appreciates Prof. Nentawe’s unwavering dedication to the ideals of the All Progressives Congress and looks forward to continued partnership in building a more united, dynamic, and progressive Party.
