The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Senator Dino Melaye over allegations of anti-party activities. The suspension was confirmed through a letter from the party’s ward executive committee in Ayetoro/Iluagba Ward 1, Kogi State. According to the letter, this decision followed a review of a report submitted by a disciplinary committee tasked with investigating the senator’s actions.

Dino Melaye’s conduct was deemed harmful to the interests and unity of the PDP, leading the ward executive committee to take immediate action. The letter indicated that Melaye’s behavior had caused embarrassment and brought disrepute to the party. As a result, the ward committee made the decision to suspend him indefinitely. This action is in line with Article 59 (1) of the PDP Constitution, which grants the ward executives the power to discipline members found guilty of misconduct.

The suspension of Dino Melaye is part of a broader pattern of disciplinary actions within the PDP. In August 2024, Peter Babalola, a party leader from Osun State, faced suspension for similar reasons, including his failure to attend party meetings for an extended period. Additionally, in Benue State, the PDP suspended former Governor Samuel Ortom and summoned Senator Gabriel Suswam over allegations of anti-party behavior and gross misconduct.

This latest development highlights the PDP’s focus on maintaining internal unity and enforcing discipline among its members. By addressing anti-party activities at various levels, the party is demonstrating its commitment to upholding its rules and preserving its integrity. Although more details about Melaye’s specific actions are expected to emerge, the suspension indicates that the party is taking serious steps to ensure loyalty and adherence to its principles, even when it involves high-profile members like Melaye.

The implications of Dino Melaye’s suspension could be significant, given his prominent role in Nigerian politics. As a former senator with a strong following, this decision may spark reactions within the party and beyond. However, the PDP’s leadership appears resolute in its efforts to strengthen party discipline and present a united front, especially as future elections approach.
