Leaders of the party’s Kogi State chapter formally presented Melaye with an ADC membership card at his office.

Kingsley Temitope, the ADC chairman in Kogi State, accompanied by the state secretary, local government chairmen, party secretaries, ward chairmen and party secretaries, presented the party membership card to Mele.
Temitope, wearing a shirt bearing the logo of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said, “I presented the ADC membership card to Senator Dino Mele, who is a full member and has been contributing to the party even before the card was issued.”

Mele resigned due to the failure of the PDP to save Nigeria from the “tyranny of politicians.”
