A former Senator, Dino Melaye on Saturday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is dead and now once upon a time.

Melaye, a chieftain of the party, in a tweet on X decried the crisis plaguing the party, saying it has been destroyed by the acting chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagun and others.

He said he would talk about the commercialization and privatization of the PDP later.

Melaye wrote: “End of the road for PDP as Damagun, Bature and Anyanwu irredeemably destroyed the party. We will talk about the commercialisation and privatisation of PDP. PDP is now once upon a time.”

Despite the crisis in the party, Damagun had on Wednesday said he would not be quitting his position but would work to keep it safe and stable.

Mr Damagun said this during the inauguration of the reconciliation and disciplinary committees to resolve internal crises and address misconduct within the party.

While responding to allegations by some members of the party, including a former Federal Commissioner for Information and Ijaw National Leader, Edwin Clark, that he was destroying the party, Damagun said he was ready to pay the price of leadership and encouraged criticisms within and outside his party.
