The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has continued to take different dimensions as the party leadership has announced the suspension of a former Federal lawmaker who represented Kogi West Senatorial District of Kogi State in the Senate, Senator Dino Melaye.

The Kogi State chapter of the PDP announced the suspension of Senator Meleye who was the 2023 governorship candidate of the party in the state.

According to the PDP, Melaye was suspended by the PDP exco in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1 following his alleged refusal to honour a summon.

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

The Ward Chairman, Abayomi Osamika and Secretary, Yodson Dayo, in a statement released to the press, said the resolution to suspend Melaye was taken by the Ward party executive committee during a meeting in Aiyetoro/Luagba Ward 1 on Friday.

The statement reads in part: “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.”
