The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Senator Dino Melaye over alleged anti-party activities.
Reports from Punch Online reveals the suspension was made by the ward party executive committee in Ayetoro/Iluagba Ward 1 after reviewing the report of the disciplinary committee set up to investigate Melaye’s actions.
The Ward exco explained that Dino Melaye was suspended for anti-party activities and alleged misconduct which were deemed detrimental to PDP’s interest.
The resolution to suspend the Senator Dino read, “Senator Dino Melaye’s conduct has brought embarrassment and disrepute to the party and his continued membership is no longer tenable.
“Therefore, the Ward party exco hereby suspends Dino Melaye from the Peoples Democratic party, effective and immediately.
“The suspension is in line with provisions of Article 59 (1) of the PDP constitution which empowers the Ward party excos to take disciplinary actions against erring members.”
The PDP also took similar actions against other members accused ofanti-party activities inorder to maintain party discipline and unity. Peter Babalola, a chieftain from Osun, was suspended in August 2024 for alleged anti-party activities and not attending party meetings for two years.
