We’ll wrest Power From APC’s Grips- Melaye Says After PDP Appointment

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

Dino Melaye, a former senator from Kogi state, has reacted to his appointment as the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential campaign. In a post on Thursday, August 4, Melaye noted that he was humbled by the recognition given to him by the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He vowed never to disappoint the party for reposing such confidence in him and pledged to work towards taking power back from the grip of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.

“I’m grateful to His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar (GCON) Waziri Adamawa, presidential candidate of our party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, (PDP), for appointing me as spokesman for the Atiku/Ifeanyi Okowa ticket. “This for me is a humbling recognition and I pledge to justify the confidence reposed in me. “Together, we shall reclaim our country from the vice-grip of the APC.”

Recall that Atiku had appointed Melaye and Dr. Daniel Bwala as his spokespersons for the 2023 presidential campaign. The former vice-president who confirmed this development in a statement issued by his special adviser on media, Paul Ibe, in Abuja on Thursday, August 4, said that the appointment took immediate effect.
