The Ward Party Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ayetoro\/lluagba ward 1 has suspended Senator Dino Melaye over allegation of engaging in anti party activities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Senator Melaye is from Ayetoro\/lluagba ward 1, in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.<\/p>\n
Melaye\u2019s suspension was confirmed in statement jointly signed by the PDP Ward Chairman, Mr Abayomi Osamika, and Secretary, Mr Yodson Dayo, and made available to journalists on Friday in Lokoja.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, Melaye\u2019s suspension was effected in a resolution of Ward PDP Exco meeting held in Aiyetoro, on Thursday September 12, 2024, and signed by all executive members of the party.<\/p>\n
The statement said Melaye\u2019s conduct had brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party, and his continued membership is no longer tenable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ward Party Executive Committee of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP), in Ayetoro\/lluagba ward 1 met on Friday the 12th of September 2024 to review the report of the disciplinary committee set up to investigate alleged anti party activities against Senator Dino Melaye, a member of our great party.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecall that Senator Dino Melaye was invited to appear before the Disciplinary Committee on 20th August 2024, to answer to certain allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities, in line with the provisions of Article 57(4), of the PDP Constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, he failed to show up, disregarding the invitation and the authority of the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter careful consideration and deliberation, the Ward Party Exco resolved as follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Senator Dino Melaye\u2019s failure to appear before the Disciplinary Committee constitutes a gross disrespect to the party and its leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat his actions are in clear violation of the PDP Constitution and the principles of party discipline.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Senator Dino Melaye\u2019s conduct has brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party, and his continued membership is no longer tenable.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, the Ward Party Exco hereby suspends Senator Dino Melaye from the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP), effective immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis suspension is in line with the provisions of Article 59(1) of the PDP Constitution, which empowers the Ward Party Exco to take disciplinary actions against erring members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge all members of our great party to remain committed to the principles of party discipline and loyalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must work together to build a strong and united party, capable of winning elections and serving the interests of our people,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
Every attempt made by this reporter to reach out to Senator Dino Melaye, to hear his response on the alleged suspension from the party proved abortive, as he was not responding to calls and messages sent to his phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Stephen Adeleye The Ward Party Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ayetoro\/lluagba ward 1…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[30,325],"class_list":{"0":"post-12249","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics","8":"tag-dino-melaye","9":"tag-kogi-pdp"},"yoast_head":"\n
