A former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kogi State, Sen. Dino Melaye, was involved in a hot exchange with a former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom.
Sen. Melaye accused Ortom of anti-party activities during the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking at a North Central zonal leadership meeting of PDP in Abuja on Wednesday, Melaye said Ortom’s anti-party activities led to PDP losing both the presidential and governorship elections in Benue.

He expressed surprise that the former governor could attend a PDP meeting despite his previous disloyalty to the party.
This led to a hot exchange between both PDP chieftains.
During the 2023 election, Ortom had teamed up with the G-5 governors led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, to work against PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
While other members of the group worked for President Bola Tinubu’s victory, Ortom backed the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
