“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,”Melaye wrote.
The former lawmaker, who was the PDP’s candidate in the 2023 Kogi State governorship election, stated that his decision followed careful introspection on the current state and direction of the PDP, declaring that he could no longer, in good conscience, align with its principles or agenda.
