Edo PDP Disowns Chief Orbih 

By Towncriernews 

Edo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee led by Tony Azeigbemi on Thursday disowned Chief Dan Orbih as its National Vice President, South-South of the party and his donation of a Secretariat to the party.

It also claimed that Orbih is no longer a member of the party and that the Zonal Vice President ended on March 9, 2025 and the zone now has Chief Emma Ogidi, leading a caretaker committee for the zone.

Azeigbemi was reacting to a ceremony on Wednesday where Orbih donated a Secretariat to the party after the All Progressives Congress (APC) early this year forced him and other leaders of the party from their office in Airport Road.

The statement issued by Azeigbemi himself described Orbih’s action as a “Nollywood-style theatrics “.

He said “Let it be made abundantly clear: Chief Dan Orbih is no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He lacks the authority and standing to rent, donate, or assign any property to the Edo PDP. The so-called secretariat he claims to have donated is a facade—it belongs to the party he now openly serves, the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in Edo State, where he is nothing more than a political employee.

“Chief Orbih’s tenure as the South-South Zonal Chairman of the PDP officially ended on March 9, 2025. A duly constituted Caretaker Committee, ably led by Chief Emma Ogidi, has since taken over the affairs of the zone.

“It is evident that Chief Orbih’s latest drama is a desperate attempt to distract, disrupt, and destabilize the Edo PDP. His record of notoriety is well documented, and as such, we refuse to dignify his antics with undue attention.

“We urge PDP members to disregard the antics of Dan Orbih and not be distracted.  Reclaiming our mandate remains our focus.

“The Edo PDP Caretaker Committee remains united, focused, and fully in charge of the party’s affairs.”
