Why PDP suspend Dino Melaye

According to The Tribune, Melaye's recent actions were the cause of the suspension, which was deemed detrimental to the PDP's interests and unity.

This move is consistent with the PDP's practice record of taking disciplinary action against members accused of anti-party activities, such as the suspension of Peter Babalola from Osun State in August 2024 and former Governor Samuel Ortom from Benue State.

The PDP has also summoned other members, including Senator Gabriel Suswam, over alleged gross misconduct and anti-party activities. These actions demonstrate the party's commitment to maintaining discipline and unity. Further details of Melaye's suspension are expected to emerge as more information becomes available.

Melaye, who had served as a House of Representatives member and senator under the PDP umbrella, alleged that the acting national chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagun, its national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and Umar Bature, the national organising secretary, commercialised the party's affairs.

This development led to the PDP in Aiyetoro, Melaye's ward, forming a disciplinary committee to investigate the allegation. The committee has been reportedly found guilty.
