Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s inability to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
In a letter dated 4 July 2025, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 1, Ayetoro Gbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Melaye said his decision followed a deep reflection on the state of the party and its performance in the country’s political landscape.
“I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels of involvement. 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,” he stated in the letter obtained by Newsbulletin Nigeria on Thursday.
Melaye added that he could no longer, in good conscience, participate in the party’s activities or support its agenda, noting that the PDP had failed to live up to the vision and promises it once represented.
He, however, expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunity to serve under its platform during his period of membership.
