Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has resigned from the PDP, citing its failure to address Nigeria’s worsening political and economic crisis.
In a July 30 letter to the PDP Ward 1 Chairman in Aiyetoro Gbede, Kogi, Melaye said he could no longer stay in a party lacking vision and capacity.
“I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party at all levels of involvement,” Melaye wrote.
Explaining the reasons for his decision, the outspoken politician expressed his disappointment with the PDP’s direction.
“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 further stated that his conscience would not allow him to continue supporting a party that has lost its connection with the people.
“Having carefully reflected on the state of the party, I can no longer in good conscience participate in the activities of the party or lend my support to her agenda.”
Emphasising the finality of his move, he concluded: “In view of the above, please consider this as my formal withdrawal from the party and all its activities at all levels with immediate effect.”
