PDP suspends Dino Melaye
The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended one of its members, Dino Melaye, over alleged anti-party activities.
Melaye, a former senator from the state, was suspended by the PDP exco in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1 following his refusal to honour a summon.
According to the Ward exco, the action was taken due to Melaye’s anti-party activities and alleged misconduct.
The resolution to suspend him was taken by the Ward party executive committee during a meeting in Aiyetoro/Luagba Ward 1 on Friday.
The meeting was held to review the report of the disciplinary committee set up to investigate alleged anti-party activities against him.
“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,” the resolution read.
