Ex-minister resigns from APC

A former minister of sports and youth development, Solomon Dalung, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Dalung presented his letter of resignation to the APC ward chairman in Sabin-Gida, Langtang south LGA of Plateau state.

Dalung said recent developments in the party are incongruous with his personal core 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.”

Dalung served as minister from 2015 to 2019.
