PDP Mulls Dino Melaye’s Suspension, Calls Him Liability
The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Kogi State chapter has described Senator Dino Melaye as a liability to the party.
Sequel to this, PDP’s elders in the state led by Alhaji Ibrahim Dansofo, urged the local executive committee in Ijumu to initiate immediate suspension proceedings against Melaye.
This, they said, would stress the need to restore the party’s integrity and focus on viable leadership.

EKO HOT BLOG recalls that Melaye on Saturday said the acting national chairman of the PDP, Iliya Damagum, Samuel Anyanwu, and Umar Bature have destroyed the former ruling party.
Melaye claimed that the three chieftains have irredeemably destroyed PDP.
Condemning his remark, the party elders said Melaye’s political ambitions have crumbled to the point where he can no longer secure a local councilor position.
The Dansofo’s led elders characterized Melaye as a liability, suggesting that his continued association with the party serves only to negotiate personal gain with the ruling party rather than contribute positively to the PDP.
“Senator Melaye has become a burden to the party.
“His accusations against the current leadership are hypocritical, as he himself was granted a governorship ticket despite the party’s awareness of his inability to win even a primary election,” Dansofo said.
The Kogi PDP placed blame for the party’s current struggles squarely on Melaye’s shoulders, claiming that his nomination was a significant misstep that has led to their present predicament.
They further called on former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to reevaluate their support for Melaye, urging them to distance themselves from someone they described as a “bondage” and a “big-time liability” for the party.

They call on the Nigerian public to disregard Melaye’s remarks, labeling them as the desperate words of a man whose political relevance has long since faded.
“The Kogi PDP is determined to move forward, reclaim its strength, and rebuild its reputation as a formidable political force in the state, the stakeholders ask Dino Melaye to account for billions he collected in the name of governorship election,” they added.
