The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended former Senator Dino Melaye from the party.
The suspension was enacted by the PDP executive committee in Ayetoro Gbede, Ward 1, after Melaye failed to respond to a summons.
The Ward executive cited anti-party activities and alleged misconduct as reasons for the action.
During a meeting on Friday in Aiyetoro/Luagba Ward 1, the Ward party executive committee reviewed a report from the disciplinary committee investigating the allegations against Melaye and decided to suspend him.
The resolution was signed by Ward Chairman Abayomi Osamika and Secretary Yodson Dayo.
The resolution, as seen Coretvnews, stated: “Senator Dino Melaye’s actions have brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party, making his continued membership untenable. Therefore, the Ward party executive has suspended Dino Melaye from the Peoples Democratic Party, effective immediately.”
The suspension follows Article 59(1) of the PDP constitution, which grants Ward executives the authority to take disciplinary measures against members found in violation of party rules.
