A former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung has resigned his membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dalung, who served as minister in the first term of President Muhammadu Buhari, announced his resignation in a letter presented to the APC ward chairman in Sabin-Gida, Langtang South LGA of Plateau state.
In the letter, the former minister said he’s resigning from the APC effective immediately due to the recent developments in the party which are incompatible with his values.
“This is to convey my withdrawal of membership from the All Progressives Congress with effect from the date of this notice,” the letter signed on April 18 reads.
“It is worthy of mention that recent developments in the party conflict with my core principles of values which define the basis of allegiance to the party.
“Of note is the fact that internal democracy is critical to the survival of representative democracy without which political participation remains a mirage.”
KanyiDaily recalls that in 2019, Solomon Dalung claimed that sports was the best performing ministry in the country under the Muhammadu Buhari leadership.
