A former Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has disclosed that founding members of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, coalition took an oath.

 

 

Dalung disclosed that members took an oath that the coalition would be about Nigeria and not individual interests.

 

Featuring on Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, the former Minister under the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, said most members of the coalition have broken the oath.

 

 

While noting that the coalition is not dead, he stressed that it was no longer as formidable like it was at inception.

 

Asked about the controversies in the ADC, Dalung said: “The controversies are expected because when we went into the coalition on day one, we all took oath that it was not going to be about any individual but country and I’m keeping to that oath because things like this as a politician will arise, so anybody pretending that these issues of controversy will not come is not sincere.

 

 

“My disappointment is that most of those who took oath on day one in the coalition have broken them.

 

“The oath was to stick with the coalition and not individual interest, so what has now destabilized the coalition is personal ambition taking preeminence over our early commitment.

 

“The coalition as it is now is not dead but not as formidable as it were.”
