A former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to PUNCH, the letter was dated April 1, 2022, and signed by the politician on April 18, 2022.
Part of the letter read, “This is to convey my withdrawal of membership from the All Progressives Congress with effect from the date of this notice.
“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.”
