Former Nigerian lawmaker Dino Melaye accuses three former officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of “selling” the party to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC). Melaye, a former senator for Kogi West, makes the allegations during an interview on the Kaa Truths podcast.
Melaye names former acting PDP National Chairman Umar Damagum, former National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, and former organising secretary Umar Bature as the people he says aligned with Tinubu and the APC. He argues their actions weaken the PDP, and he ties the party’s further decline to subsequent events involving Nyesom Wike, whom he describes as “finally” burying the party.
Both outlets report the same core claim, the same three named PDP ex-officials, and the same podcast setting. They differ only in emphasis: the Daily Post Nigeria frames the allegations as politicians “selling” PDP to Tinubu, while Nigerian Eye adds more detail about PDP internal divisions and its perceived prospects heading toward the 2027 general elections.
