Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youth and Sports
Development, says the 2023 general election is about the quality of candidates
and not their political parties.
Dalung, also Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for
Langtang North/Langtang South Federal Constituency, stated this on Tuesday in
Jos when he interacted with newsmen.
The former minister said that Nigerians were more
politically aware and that their considerations in the current political
dispensation was about the qualities of candidates and not their political
parties.
“Don’t be deceived, Nigerians are not going to elect
parties, Nigerians are going to elect individuals.
“It is going to be a rainbow coalition in 2023, and it was
the rainbow coalition that saved South Africa because it ended apartheid.
“In 2023, Nigerians with their votes will build a rainbow
coalition that will end these political failures, political gangsters and set
the foundation of a new nation.
“A nation where people from different political backgrounds,
different ideologies, different religions, different ethnicities will come
together, and build a better country for Nigeria,” he stated.
The former minister said that the performance of an elected
person was the only weapon he could use to survive the 2023 general election.
“For a candidate that has not been elected before, it is
going to be his character, his integrity and past antecedents that will give
him an edge.
“It is not going be how long a politician has been in
government but what it has been able to achieve during that period,” he said.
