He said “We would wish Senator Dino Melaye had stayed to allow the ongoing reconciliation efforts to progress, but we respect his right of association and wish him goodluck.
“I am also aware that for it to qualify as defection he has to formally notify the Senate President, which as far as I know, he has not done.”
