FCT, Abuja – Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 Kogi governorship election, has carpeted former governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom.

The condemnation happened when major stakeholders of the north-central geopolitical zone of the opposition party met for a crucial meeting on Wednesday, April 17, in Abuja.

At the meeting, Melaye said he was surprised that Ortom could feel comfortable sitting in a PDP meeting, walking in majestically after his alleged anti-party activities that made the party lose both the presidential and gubernatorial elections in Benue state.

The former senator asserted that Ortom should be disciplined by the PDP.

This is the first time that the former Rivers state governor will be attending a meeting of the PDP since the presidential election in 2023.

Wike has been at loggerheads with the PDP leadership and did not support the party’s choice of Atiku as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.

It is widely believed that the FCT minister worked for the victory of President Bola Tinubu, a key member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
