The Spokesman for the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bolaji
Abdullahi, has revealed that Dino Melaye, the Senator representing Kogi
West, has not informed the party about his defection.
Abdullahi, however, stated that the party respects “his right of association”, and wishes him “goodluck”.
“Well, to the best of my knowledge,
he did not inform the party. I do not want to speculate on the reason for his decision.
“We would wish Senator Dino Melaye had stayed to allow the ongoing reconciliation efforts to progress, but we respect his right of association, and wish him goodluck.
“I am also aware that for it to qualify as defection, he has to formally notify the Senate President, which as far as I know, he has not done”, he said.
Senator Melaye was reported to have defected to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Wednesday, when he returned to the National Assembly.
