Dino Melaye Accuses Damagum, Bature, Anyanwu Of Destroying PDP

Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s nominee for governor of Kogi State in 2023, declared that the PDP’s time in politics was finished.

He asserted that the party has undergone privatization and commercialization.

The former senator from Kogi West accused the interim national chairman of the PDP, Iliya Damagum, the national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and the national organizing secretary, Umar Bature, of ruining the party in a post published on his X Twitter on Saturday.

He wrote, “End of the road for PDP as Damagum, Bature and Anyanwu irredeemably destroyed the party. We will talk about the commercialisation and privatisation of PDP. PDP is now once upon a time.”

Melaye’s outburst comes after PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives had raised an allegation against Damagum and Anyanwu.

The lawmaker had accused the party leaders of plotting to sabotage the PDP by aiding defected former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly with legal backing.

According to them, the duo’s move was an attempt to impeach the Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara out of office.

The spokesperson and member of the House of Representatives representing Ideato Federal Constituency, Ikenga Ugochinyere, had listed some events which he said were a calculated attempt by Damagum and Anyanwu to weaken the PDP.

However, in his response, Damagum warned that nobody could intimidate him into resigning from his position.

He made the reply during the inauguration of the PDP National Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committees in Abuja on Thursday.

According to him, those calling for his resignation were merely enhancing his popularity as against destroying it.
