The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a stern warning to Senator Dino Melaye, telling him to take the party seriously or leave.

Idowu Unoja, a chieftain of the PDP from Kogi State, made the statement in response to Melaye's recent actions, which have brought the party into disrepute.

Melaye's failure to vote for himself during the last governorship election in Kogi State, despite the party raising over N1 billion for his campaign, is a betrayal of the party's trust. Furthermore, his inability to mobilize party faithful in Kogi State has raised questions about his commitment to the party's success.

To make matters worse, Melaye has squandered the party's resources on luxury cars and a lavish lifestyle, without any visible means of income. This reckless display of wealth has embarrassed the party and its leadership.

Revelations of Melaye's attempts to reconcile with APC leader Bola Tinubu through Daniel Bwala have led many to question his loyalty and commitment to the PDP.

It is particularly shameful that despite the party's National Working Committee (NWC), led by Ambassador Damangu Umar, being magnanimous in their support for Melaye, he has chosen to cast aspersions on their leadership.

"The PDP is not a comedy party, and we will not tolerate any behavior that brings us into disrepute," Unoja said. "We call on Senator Melaye to take the PDP seriously or leave. His actions are a slap in the face to the party and its supporters."

The party's leadership must now decide whether to continue tolerating Melaye's antics or take a stand against him. The PDP's values and integrity are at stake.
