NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the 2023 Kogi State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye has claimed that the opposition party has been commercialised and privatised.
In a post via his X handle on Saturday, the former Kogi West Senator asserted that the PDP has lost its relevance in the country’s political space.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Melaye accused the acting PDP national chairman, Iliya Damagum, the national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and the national organising secretary, Umar Bature, of destroying the party.
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.”
PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives had raised serious allegations against Damagum and Anyanwu.
The lawmaker, under the aegis of the Opposition Coalition, accused the party leaders of a covert plot to sabotage the PDP by aiding defected former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly with legal backing to attempt to impeach the Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara out of Office.
Speaking on behalf of the coalition, the spokesperson and member of the House of Representatives representing Ideato Federal Constituency, Ikenga Ugochinyere, detailed a series of events which he described as a calculated attempt by Damagum and Anyanwu to weaken the PDP from the inside.
In his response during the inauguration of the PDP National Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committees in Abuja on Thursday, Damagum warned that nobody can intimidate him into resigning from his position.
Damagum berated those spreading misinformation about NWC operations, adding that those calling for his resignation are only enhancing his popularity.
