The wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has continued with a former Senator from Kogi State and the PDP’s 2023 Kogi State governorship candidate, Dino Melaye, announcing his decision to officially resign from the party.

Melaye, in a letter posted on his official X handle, cited the party’s “lack of potency” and internal decay as the reason for his decision.

Melaye, a dramatic politician and outspoken figure in Nigerian politics, accused the PDP’s leadership, including its acting National Chairman, Ambassador Iliya Damagum, National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, and National Organising Secretary Umar Bature, of allegedly commercializing and privatizing the party.

He said: “I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party at all levels of involvement.

“This decision has become imperative due to the lack of potency and capacity by the party to deliver the Nigerian people from the prevailing political cankerworms that have eaten deeply into the fabric of our dear nation.

“Having carefully reflected on the state of the party, I can no longer in good conscience participate in the activities of the parties or lend my support to her agenda.

“Given the above, please consider this as my formal withdrawal from the party and all its activities at all levels with immediate effect.”
