Speaking in an interview with Legit.ng, Dalung, who served during former President Muhammadu Buhari's first term in office, chided the incumbent president.

He said:

“The president has promised renewed hope, but his take-off policies are driving the country to renewed hopelessness.

“My rating of the current administration is below expectation because looking at the president and his antecedent as a governor of Lagos state, I was thinking that by now, he should have hit the ground running and of course, the impact of his leadership would have been felt. But as it is, the situation is lamentable and even worse than any other administration since 1999, because four months into the administration, the people are completely facing very harsh and intolerable living conditions. and, this has actually painted the negative perception of the government vis-à-vis its promises.”
