BREAKING: Dino Melaye resigns from PDP
Dino Melaye
Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has officially tendered his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s failure to tackle Nigeria’s deep-rooted political challenges.
In a letter dated July 30 and addressed to the PDP Ward 1 Chairman in Aiyetoro Gbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Melaye said the decision was driven by the PDP’s lack of capacity to redeem the nation.
“This decision has become imperative due to the lack of potency and capacity by the party to deliver the Nigerian people from the prevailing political cankerworms that have eaten deeply into the fabric of our dear nation,” he stated.
A known ally of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Melaye is now a prominent member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has recently gained momentum following the formation of a new opposition coalition.
His resignation follows those of other key PDP figures, including former Senate President David Mark, Atiku Abubakar, and Dele Momodu. Mark currently serves as the interim national chairman of the ADC.
