Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In his resignation letter dated July 30 and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 1 in Aiyetoro Gbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Melaye cited the party’s inability to rescue Nigeria from what he described as “the prevailing political cankerworms” as the reason for his departure.
His exit marks a significant shift in his political trajectory, following years of active involvement in the PDP.
“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,” Dino wrote.
The close ally of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is a key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Dino becomes the latest chieftain to resign from the PDP following the formation of the opposition coalition.
Former Senate President David Mark, Atiku, Dele Momodu are among those who have left the party.
Mark is currently the interim national chairman of the ADC, the platform adopted by the opposition coalition.
Meanwhile, Mark has warned members of the coalition to be committed to ADC, stressing there would be no room for anti-party activities.
