The self-acclaimed democratic evangelist alleged that the PDP was sold, but was unsure if they had received the payment receipt.
According to Melaye, what is in the opposition now is an APC-controlled PDP.
The controversial senator stated this during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday night, September 8, 2025.
“Apart from our Lord Jesus Christ, no dead can rise again, and I want to tell you that whatever you are seeing is make-shift, the dead is dead, we can only advertise the obituary.
“Dead and buried, PDP was sold and I’m not sure if they got the receipt of payment but it was sold and what you have now is APC controlled PDP.
“It’s a party that is being controlled from the Villa, it’s the agents of the APC that controls the PDP.”

He also said let the dead people go and burry their dead PDP.
Dino called PDP members as dead people and that alone is enough for INEC to disqualify ADC because these people that are coming to ADC majority of them are terrorists.
Atiku should know PDP made him who he is today.
@GodlyTime
You were never a member of PDP, you were always just an Atiku's boy.
@mutiukareem1
PDP truly died since Wike sold them to APC senator Dino milaye 100% correct. Anybody that doesn't like the truth by @_dinomelaye should charge him to court even many stake holders in PDP know the truth.
@iam_fredm
After you and your boss Atiku destroyed the party. You now have the gut to come on the media and open your mouth waaa that PDP is dead.
@AbiodunAkanni9
Yet, in the recent bye-election PDP was ahead of ADC and it will be ahead of ADC in 2027 general election because it remains the major opposition party while ADC is a beginner.
@DbPragmatic
Says the puppet of those who kpai and buried PDP because of the ambition and desperation of one man.
