Former Kogi State lawmaker, Sen. Dino Melaye, has announced his exit from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s lack of potency and capacity as reasons for his membership withdrawal.
This was contained in a resignation letter addressed to his Ward Chairman in ijumu Local Government Area, Kogi State.
Melaye had in the letter shared on his X handle on Thursday held that the PDP no longer has the capacity to deliver Nigeria.
While expressing his gratitude to the party for the opportunity given to him, the ex-lawmaker turned lawyer declared his withdrawal from all the party’s activities.
“I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels of involvement. 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.
“Having carefully reflected on the state of the party, I can no longer in good conscience participate in the activities of the parties or lend my support to her agenda.
“In view of the above, please consider this as my formal withdrawal from the party and all its activities at all levels with immediate effect.
“Thank you for the opportunity to serve under the platform during my period of membership.” The letter read.
Melaye is tipped to join the new African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition party.
Few hours after the announcement of his resignation, the ADC had in a post on its official X handle shared a throwback video of Melaye arguing with the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over alleged manipulation of the 2023 Presidential election result.
The coalition party in a caption of the video declared its readiness to accept the ex-Kogi lawmaker.
