Breaking: PDP Suspends Dino Melaye

Ward executives in the Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have suspended former Senator, Dino Melaye.

Melaye was suspended by the PDP exco in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1 for failing to honour an invitation by the party.

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

The decision to suspend Melaye 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 Secretary, Yodson Dayo.

The resolution sighted by Naija News 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.”
