“What we did today, is part of the assurance to delivering that good governance”.

He said the undertaking was not a joke, but something very well thought-out, not only to make public office holders sit up, but show indeed that the NNPP was a different political party, one given by revelation, and committed to changing the fortunes of the people.

The Eagle reports that the bill of undertaking has been a principle close to the heart of Ajadi, as he believes that it should actually become legal for public office holders to commit to being prosecuted in the court of law, alongside electoral promises which they failed to keep faith with.
