PDP suspends Dino Melaye for alleged anti-party activities

The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended former Senator and its gubernatorial candidate from the state, Dino Melaye.

Melaye was suspended by the PDP exco in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1 following his refusal to honour a summon.

The Ward exco explained that Melaye was suspended for anti-party activities and alleged misconduct.

The resolution to suspend the former Kogi West senator was taken by the Ward party executive committee 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.

It was signed by the Ward Chairman, Abayomi Osamika and Ward Yodson Dayo, Secretary.

The resolution suspending the Senator reads: “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 Dino Melaye from the Peoples Democratic party, effective and immediately.

“The suspension is in line with provisions of Article 59 (1) of the PDP constitution which empowers the Ward party excos to take disciplinary actions against erring members.”
