PDP IS PRIVATIZED, DINO MELAYE

Dino Melaye, the 2023 Kogi State governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused the opposition party of being commercialized and privatized.

In a post on his X handle on Saturday, the former Kogi West Senator expressed that the PDP has lost its significance in Nigeria’s political landscape.

Melaye blamed the acting PDP national chairman, Iliya Damagum, national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and national organizing secretary, Umar Bature, for the party’s predicament.

“The PDP’s downfall is inevitable, as Damagum, Bature, and Anyanwu have irreparably damaged the party.

“We will expose the commercialization and privatization within PDP. The PDP is now a thing of the past.”

Meanwhile, PDP’s spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, has refuted the allegation that the party has been commercialized.

He asserted that all political parties experience challenges and internal disputes.

He stated, “The party is not commercialized. I’m not sure what he means by that. The party remains strong.

“Every party faces its own challenges because they are dealing with people who have diverse interests, backgrounds, considerations, and aspirations.

“The party’s ability to manage these dynamics is what defines its success, even though challenges are inevitable.”
