Senator Dino Melaye has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s inability to provide credible leadership and deliver good governance to Nigerians.

In a letter of resignation dated 4th July, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman PDP, Ward 1 Aiyetoro Gbede, in Ijumu LGA of Kogi State, Melaye said he cannot in good conscience participate in the activities of the party or lend his support to its agenda.

Part of the resignation letter said,  “I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels of involvement.

• We’ll recognise Palestinian state by September – Canadian PM
• Ex-Yobe Assembly Candidates Deny Defection to APC, Reaffirm Loyalty to PDP

“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.”

Dino, who represented Kogi West in the 8th Senate, stated that, “Having carefully reflected on the state of the party, I can no longer in good conscience participate in the activities of the parties or lend my support to her agenda.

“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. Thank you for the opportunity to serve under the platform during my period of membership.”
