The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State has suspended former Senator Dino Melaye, a close associate of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The suspension, announced by the Ward executive committee of Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1, followed Melaye’s failure to respond to a summons.
He was accused of engaging in anti-party activities and misconduct, bringing embarrassment to the party.
The decision was made during a meeting on Friday after the disciplinary committee submitted its report on Melaye’s activities.
Ward Chairman Abayomi Osamika and Secretary Yodson Dayo signed the resolution, stating that Melaye’s membership in the PDP is no longer viable.
“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,” it reads in part.
The suspension is effective immediately.
