Senator #DinoMelaye’s caption got everyone talking …. Why ? #GoldMyneTV
Although he did not mention the APC, the ruling party is holding its national convention today, where a new set of party officials are expected to be elected.
Mr Melaye has repeatedly criticised the APC, the party on whose platform he was elected as senator. He recently requested to be allowed to sit with the opposition PDP during plenary.Trouble for APC as Senator #dinomelaye announce their obituary, Nigerians react
He is a member of the New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) who have threatened to pull out of the APC over alleged marginalisation.
