Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the party’s failure to provide a viable alternative for national recovery.
Melaye announced his resignation in a letter dated July 30, addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 1 in Aiyetoro Gbede, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
“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,” the former lawmaker wrote.

A known ally of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Melaye is now a key member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has emerged as a new rallying platform for opposition figures.
His departure follows that of several other PDP stalwarts, including former Senate President David Mark, Atiku Abubakar, and Dele Momodu, amid growing momentum for the opposition coalition.
David Mark currently serves as the interim national chairman of the ADC. He has warned members against disloyalty, emphasizing that the coalition will not tolerate anti-party activities.
Melaye’s exit adds to the shifting political landscape ahead of future elections, as parties realign and opposition blocs seek greater cohesion.
