PDP Considers Suspension Of Dino Melaye After He Declared Party Dead

The Kogi State chapter of the People Democratic party has asked the local executive committee in Ijumu to initiate immediate suspension proceedings against Senator Dino Melaye, following his recent outburst when he declared the party dead.

The party said the move was necessary to restore its integrity and focus on viable leadership.

The party’s elders, led by Alhaji Ibrahim Dansofo, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday made available to newsmen in Lokoja.

“Melaye’s political ambitions have crumbled to the point where he can no longer secure even a local councilor position

“Senator Melaye has become a burden to the party. His accusations against the current leadership are hypocritical, as he himself was granted a governorship ticket despite the party’s awareness of his inability to win even a primary election.”

The Kogi PDP placed the blame for the party’s current struggles squarely on Melaye’s shoulders, claiming that his nomination was a significant misstep that led to the party’s present predicament.

They called on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to reevaluate their support for Melaye, urging them to distance themselves from someone they described as a “bondage” and a “big-time liability” for the party.
