The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum has fired back at former Senator Dino Melaye for his media onslaught on him and the leadership of the party.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Recall Dino Melaye, since the inauguration of reconciliation committee and disciplinary committee by the party, went on media rampage to criticise the PDP leadership.<\/p>\n
The two committees are tasked to ensure reconciliation among aggrieved members and enforce unity and discipline in the party.<\/p>\n
In a post on his X on Saturday, August 24, 2024, the former Senator alleged that the party under Damagum’s leadership has been commercialised and privatised.<\/p>\n
He asserted that the PDP has lost its relevance in Nigeria’s political space, declaring that the party is now ”once upon a time.”<\/p>\n
Melaye also called out the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and the National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature, for destroying the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnd of the road for PDP as Damagum, Bature and Anyanwu irredeemably destroyed the party. We will talk about the commercialisation and privatisation of PDP. PDP is now once upon a time,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Responding to Melaye’s criticism, the PDP National Chairman said the Kogi State chieftain is one of the people damaging the party.<\/p>\n
