The former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has advised his colleagues in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against defecting to the All Progressive Congress, APC.

In a post on Twitter, the former lawmaker said that defecting to the APC would be a foolish thing to do.

According to Dino Melaye, the only time the party can be trusted is when it is a dead APC man that is being engaged.

He wrote: “Those planning to leave PDP, my humble advice. The only APC man you can trust is the dead Apc man. Don’t be a fool. SDM.”

Dino Melaye gave the advice amid talks of a massive defection from the PDP to the APC.

In the space of two weeks, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State dumped the party for the APC.

The governor who is accused of chasing presidential ambition said that he left the PDP because the party has not been fair to the Southeast region.

Days later, Senator Elisha Abbo defected from the PDP to the APC on grounds that the PDP has been mismanaged in Adamawa State.
