The People Democratic party’s Kogi State chapter has requested that former senator Dino Melaye be suspended immediately by the local executive committee in Ijumu as a result of his recent outburst in which he declared the party to be dead.
According to the party, this action was required to regain its credibility and concentrate on strong leadership.This was revealed in a statement released to newsmen in Lokoja on Sunday by the party’s elders, led by Alhaji Ibrahim Dansofo.
“Melaye can no longer even get appointed as a local councilor because his political aspirations have collapsed.”
“The party now needs to deal with Senator Melaye as a burden. He is being disingenuous in his criticism of the current leadership because the party knew he couldn’t win, yet nevertheless gave him a ticket for governor.
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.
