PDP Meeting Clash: Dino Melaye & Samuel Ortom Clash over Tinubu Support | Political Showdown

Tensions erupted at a recent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gathering in the North Central Zone when Senator Dino Melaye, the PDP's gubernatorial hopeful in Kogi State for the 2023 elections, engaged in a fiery confrontation with Samuel Ortom, former Governor of Benue State.
The clash, which unfolded during Wednesday's meeting, stemmed from Ortom's surprising endorsement of President Bola Tinubu from the rival All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Melaye, expressing his bewilderment, took to social media the next day, questioning Ortom's presence at a PDP event following his public support for Tinubu.
Melaye's social media post queried, "Why would Ortom attend a PDP gathering after backing Tinubu in 2027? This sparked our clash at the PDP North Central Zone leadership meeting."
In a show of disbelief, Melaye rebuked Ortom for his involvement in PDP affairs despite his perceived "anti-party activities." The altercation reportedly escalated into a heated exchange, with Melaye advocating for disciplinary measures against Ortom.
Eyewitnesses recounted Ortom's stunned silence in response to Melaye's accusations, underscoring the internal strife within the party concerning loyalties and alliances.

Immature Dino is causing bad blood at a time when the PDP is preaching reconciliation and peace, as if he forgets him and his master Atiku did the same thing to GEJ in 2015 , they worked out of the convention and supported buhari. POT, accusing KETTLE
