Dino Melaye Hosts ADC Leaders, Donates ₦14 Million to Boost Party Membership Drive in Kogi West
In a renewed push to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and expand the structure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi State, prominent political figure Dino Melaye on Wednesday hosted a strategic caucus and leaders’ meeting of the party at his residence in Kabba, pledging significant financial support to energise party activities across the region.
During the meeting, Senator Melaye donated the sum of ₦14 million to support the party’s membership drive, registration, and revalidation exercise, describing the initiative as a crucial step toward strengthening the ADC’s grassroots presence and preparing the party for future political contests.
The gathering brought together influential leaders and stakeholders of the party from across Okun land and the broader Kogi West Senatorial District. Those present at the meeting included Hon. Hassan Salawu, Engr. JK Odeyemi, Chief Joe Elebiyo, Chief Dayo Akande, Chief (Barr.) Gboyega Kolade, and Barr. Yemi Olumudi.
Also in attendance were all five Local Government Chairmen from Okun land, demonstrating a united front for the party’s growth in the region.
Other notable participants included Rt. Hon. Sunmonu, former Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Prince Jambrite Sunmonu, Hon. S. O. Adeleye, alongside several other party leaders and stakeholders committed to advancing the fortunes of the ADC.
Senator Melaye emphasised that the support was aimed at mobilising members, strengthening party structures, and encouraging wider participation in the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise.
It could be recalled that earlier efforts to reposition the party saw him provide ₦10 million to the Kogi West Senatorial District during the unveiling of the ADC in the area, underscoring his continued commitment to building a formidable platform for democratic participation.
Party leaders at the meeting commended Melaye for his consistent support and dedication to the growth of the ADC, describing the intervention as a timely boost that will significantly enhance mobilisation efforts across the senatorial district.
The meeting ended with a renewed pledge by party stakeholders to intensify grassroots engagement and expand the party’s membership base across communities in Kogi West.
