In a notion to justify his mode of dressing to public functions
and events, the Minister for Youth and Sports, Solomon
Dalung, has disclosed that he prefers to identify with the
‘common people’.
In a post on his facebook page today February 3, the minister
noted that the red-beret is his signature while the ‘Khaki’ he is
used to wearing is to appreciate the people.
Read the post below:


So many people have asked this same question ” what is
behind your mode of outfits and what is the motivating
principle?”

The ‘Red Beret’ is my signature for a struggle of the common
people. The ‘Khaki’ is just nothing but a very modest way of
appreciating the magnitude of problems the ‘common people’
face in this country.

I don’t fancy putting on attires outside that because it does not
at all, portray our understanding of the situation in which we
operate. There are people in this country who find it difficult to
eat one meal a day and yet, we intimidate and harass them
with gorgeously expensive dresses.

Some of our apparels can even feed a whole community! I find
it difficult to reconcile such an irony. (Sighs) So, I have decided
to just live happily and modestly because that is how I feel
happy each time I am in my simple wears.

As for the ‘Red Beret’, it is the signature of those who struggle
against injustice, violence and oppression of the poor. In fact,
the red colour, historically represents the blood of the poor
people who have been struggling for a better society.

Each time we look at the red beret, we remember that some
people have sacrificed their lives in struggling to live better in a
world which was created by God and which others have
decided to hijack and live at their own advantage against the
voiceless majority.

So…the summary of who I am is that I am a Comrade walking
the talk.

Symbolic acts are good and well..
Just match it with real actions.

Oshiomole also wears khaki but we hear allegations of his waste in Edo.

Give me a person who will wear expensive clothes on his salaries but execute projects well..
In universities, some of the biggest thieves as lecturers are those who call themselves ' comrades'
