The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state has suspended its former governorship candidate, Dino Melaye, over alleged anti-party activities.
The suspension was announced in a memo issued by the executive committee of the party in Ayetoro Gbede Ward 1.
According to the party, Melaye was invited to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the party on August 20, 2024 to answer to certain allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities, in line with the provisions of Article 57(4), of the PDP Constitution.
“However, he failed to show up, disregarding the invitation and the authority of the party,” the party says.
“After careful consideration and deliberation, the Ward Party Exco resolved as follows: That Senator Dino Melaye’s failure to appear before the Disciplinary Committee constitutes a gross disrespect to the party and its leadership.
“That his actions are in clear violation of the PDP Constitution and the principles of party discipline.
“That Senator Dino Melaye’s conduct has brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party, and his continued membership is no longer tenable.
Some of the allegations raised against Melaye include mismanagement of the party funds for the last governorship elections and general reckless statements and anti-party activities that are capable of bringing the party to disrepute.
