Senator Dino Melaye Under Fire from PDP Members for Criticizing Party Leadership

Senator Dino Melaye, a former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state, is facing backlash from party members for accusing the party's leaders of bad leadership and "commercialization and privatization" of the PDP.

The PDP Frontliners, an intra-party pressure group, slammed Melaye for his criticisms, stating that he had "guts" to accuse the party leaders who facilitated his governorship ticket.

The group alleged that Melaye failed to do serious political mobilization during the last elections, despite receiving huge resources.

The group also accused Melaye of being among the "vultures" circling around the party, hoping to benefit from its downfall.

They stated that loyal party members would fight against such expectations and preserve the party's "good, pro-people soul."

Melaye had taken to social media to criticize the party's acting National Chairman, Umar Iliya Damagum, National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and National Organising Secretary, Umar Batur, accusing them of being behind the party's bad fortunes.

However, the PDP Frontliners countered that Melaye's criticisms were misplaced and that he had been implicated in efforts to scuttle the party's ward congress in Kogi state.

They also alleged that Melaye was part of a minority clique trying to commercialize and privatize the party's support base in Kogi state.

The group expressed optimism that the PDP could re-emerge as Nigeria's dominant party in 2027 if unethical manipulations were resisted by the national leadership and grassroots leaders.
