The Peoples Democratic Party has suspended one of its prominent members, Senator Dino Melaye over alleged anti-party activities.
According to a letter cited by Punch Online on Friday, the
suspension was made by the ward party executive committee in Ayetoro/Iluagba
Ward 1 after reviewing the report of the disciplinary committee set up to
investigate Melaye’s actions.
It appears that Melaye’s recent actions were deemed
detrimental to the PDP’s interests and unity, prompting the suspension.
This move is not unprecedented, as the PDP has taken similar
actions against other members accused of anti-party activities. For instance,
Peter Babalola, a chieftain from Osun, was suspended in August 2024 for alleged
anti-party activities and not attending party meetings for two years.
In another instance, former Governor of Benue State, Samuel
Ortom, was also suspended by the Benue PDP over alleged anti-party activities.
Similarly, Senator Gabriel Suswam and others were summoned
by the Benue PDP over alleged gross misconduct and anti-party activities.
These actions demonstrate the PDP’s commitment to
maintaining party discipline and unity. However, details of Melaye’s suspension
are still emerging, and more information is expected to follow.
The resolution to suspend the Senator read,
“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.”
