Former Senator and 2023 Kogi State governorship candidate Dino Melaye has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s inability to deliver Nigeria from what he described as “prevailing political cankerworms.”
In a resignation letter dated July 30 and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 1 in Aiyetoro Gbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Melaye announced his immediate withdrawal from the party and all its activities.
“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,” the letter in part reads
Melaye is an ally of former vice president Atiku Abubakar who earlier this month resigned from the PDP. Both men who are member of the coalition group, attended the event where the group officially adopted the ADC as its political party.
Atiku and Melaye are however yet to become card carrying members of the ADC. Congress (ADC).
