Dino Melaye Is Not Suspended, The Letter Was Forged - PDP

Former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has infiltrated the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun.​


Melaye made this statement in response to the recently concluded Edo State governorship election.

Taking to the social media platform X, the former lawmaker expressed concern about the outcome of the election and the direction in which the PDP is heading under Damagun’s leadership.

He remarked, “With the destroyer called Damagun on the wheels, PDP is in the departure lounge waiting for the boarding pass. Edo experience will be a joke, there are more APC in the NWC than PDP.”

His comments follow the defeat of the PDP’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in the Edo State governorship race.

Ighodalo secured 247,274 votes but was ultimately defeated by the APC’s Monday Okpebholo, who garnered 291,667 votes.

The results were declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), with Professor Faruk Adamu Kuta serving as the Returning Officer.

Naija News recalls that Melaye was suspended by the PDP Excos in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward.

The PDP chieftain was suspended for anti-party activities, alleged misconducts and failing to honour a summon.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Iliya Damagum, has claimed that former senator Dino Melaye is responsible for some of the crisis plaguing the party.

He raised concerns about internal party loyalty, citing Melaye’s actions during the recent Kogi gubernatorial election.
