Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 Kogi governorship election, Senator Dino Melaye, says his party has lost relevance in Nigeria’s political space.
In a scathing post on his X handle on Saturday, Melaye alleged that PDP is now “once upon a time”.
Melaye said the opposition party has been commercialized and privatized.
He accused the acting National Chairman of the party, Iliya Damagum; the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and the National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature, of destroying the party.
“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,” he wrote.
In another tweet on Sunday, Melaye noted that the founding fathers of PDP must be turning in their graves with the turn of events in the party they laboured to build.
“PDP is the only surviving party of the 4th Republic. After 27 years of surviving all shenanigans. Alex Ekwueme, Solomon Lar, Sunday Awoniyi, Adamu Chiroma, Tony Anenih, Abubakar Rimi etc will be turning in their graves seeing what Damagun, Ayanwu and Bature are doing to the dream of building a national party. PDP now, Obituary!!!”
