The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken swift action against one of its prominent members, Senator Dino Melaye from Kogi, suspending him over alleged anti-party activities.<\/p>\n
This decision, according to a memo sighted by TRIBUNE ONLINE on Friday, 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\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n
It appears that Melaye\u2019s recent actions were deemed detrimental to the PDP\u2019s interests and unity, prompting the suspension.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In another instance, former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, was also suspended by the Benue PDP over alleged anti-party activities.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Senator Gabriel Suswam and others were summoned by the Benue PDP over alleged gross misconduct and anti-party activities.<\/p>\n
These actions demonstrate the PDP\u2019s commitment to maintaining party discipline and unity. However, details of Melaye\u2019s suspension are still emerging, and more information is expected to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
