PDP Suspends Dino Melaye Over Alleged Anti-Party Activities

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Senator Dino Melaye for alleged anti-party activities. Mr. Melaye is the flamboyant senator who represented Kogi South in the 9th Senate between 2015 and 2019.

The party’s Ayetoro/Iluagba Ward 1 executive committee accused him of some undisclosed allegations, and for also not attending party meetings at the local level. The committee said it took the decision after reviewing the recommendation of the disciplinary committee.

Melaye’s conduct, according to the suspension notice, “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 notice said.

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.”

PDP – one of the major opposition parties in Nigeria, has been handicapped by a series of internal crises since losing power in 2015.

Mr Melaye’s suspension is not however isolated. The party took similar actions against other members accused of anti-party activities including suspending Peter Babalola, a chieftain from Osun State, who was suspended in August 2024. Former Governors Samuel Ortom and Gabriel Suswam, both of Benue State, have also been suspended for the same anti-party allegations.

Opposition parties; the PDP and Labour Party, appear to be doing some in-house cleanup as they brace for the next general election in 2027 to challenge incumbent President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
