He added:
“His absence in the 9th Senate has created a very huge lacuna and in that regard, the group is pleading with him to return back to the 10th senate to defend and protect the interest of Nigerians.”
He promised to ensure that the group will give Senator Melaye all the necessary support to see that he is sworn in as a member of the 10th senate in June 2023.
His words:
“We at the PDP New Generation will continue to support all party faithful, and promote the activities of the youth and women amongst us.
“As young people ourselves, we will continue to seek the development of our great party and advocate for youth inclusiveness and participation in politics. We are the leaders of today and the platform for young people - is the PDP.”
Senator Dino, in turn, accepted the appointment of Grand Patron of PDP New Generation and expressed his sheer surprise at the gesture.
He said:
“This is emotional and overwhelming for me. I thank you all and I thank God.”
