Former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), blaming the party’s lack of effective leadership and inability to deliver good governance.

 

In a resignation letter dated July 4, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 1, Aiyetoro Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Melaye announced his immediate disengagement from all party activities. The letter was shared publicly via his official X account on Thursday.

 

“I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party at all levels of involvement,” he stated.

 

Explaining his decision, Melaye wrote:

“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.”
