The altercation, which occurred at a gathering of PDP stakeholders from the north-central geopolitical zone in Abuja, saw Melaye expressing his surprise at Ortom’s presence. Melaye questioned Ortom’s attendance, citing alleged anti-party activities that contributed to the PDP’s losses in both presidential and gubernatorial elections in Benue State.

In a statement shared on his social media platform, Melaye explained that his confrontation with Ortom stemmed from the latter’s perceived betrayal of the PDP. Melaye accused Ortom of supporting President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 elections, a move that, in his view, contradicts Ortom’s participation in PDP activities.

Melaye’s assertion underscores the tension within the PDP over loyalty and party discipline, particularly as the party prepares for future electoral contests. The incident highlights the complexities of internal politics within Nigeria’s major political parties and the challenges of maintaining cohesion amid divergent interests.

As Melaye’s explanation adds context to the altercation, it also raises questions about the party’s internal dynamics and its approach to managing dissenting voices within its ranks. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing power struggles and ideological conflicts that shape Nigeria’s political landscape.
