The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kogi State chapter has suspended its former governorship candidate Senator Dino Melaye.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Melaye was suspended by the PDP excos in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1 for failing to honour an invitation by the party and for alleged anti-party activities.
The decision to suspend Melaye, according to the memo signed by the Ward Chairman, Abayomi Osamika and Ward Secretary, Yodson Dayo was taken during a meeting in Aiyetoro/Luagba Ward 1 on Friday to review the report of the disciplinary committee set up to investigate alleged anti-party activities against him.
The memo reads: “Ward Party Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ayetoro/lluagba ward 1 met on Friday the 12th of September 2024 to review the report of the disciplinary committee set up to investigate alleged anti-party activities against Senator Dino Melaye, a member of our great party.
“After careful consideration and deliberation, the Ward Party Exco resolved as follows: That Senator Dino Melaye’s failure to appear before the Disciplinary Committee constitutes a gross disrespect to the party and its leadership.
“That his actions are in clear violation of the PDP Constitution and the principles of party discipline.
“That Senator Dino Melaye’s conduct has brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party, and his continued membership is no longer tenable.
“Therefore, the Ward Party Exco hereby suspends Senator Dino Melaye from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), effective immediately,” the party said.
Melaye recently said the PDP was “dead”. But Kogi PDP fired back, saying he was a “political liability”.
