S-South PDP youths protest, demand resignation of Dan Orbih, Nat. vice chairman

Several Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) youths, under the aegis of PDP Youth and Stakeholders on Monday embarked on protest, demanding for the resignation of the PDP National Vice -Chairman, South-South, Chief Dan Orbih.

Chairman of the Youth group, Palson Arusuayine, leading the protest on Monday at the PDP State Secretariat in Asaba, Delta State, expressed  that commitment of Orbih to the PD is in doubt. Arusuayine, therefore, called on Ornih to resign or rebrand his faith and commitment to the party to ensure peace and victory for the PDP in the 2023 general elections in the south-south.

Arusuayine declared that “it is  no longer news that the PDP’s South-South National Vice- Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, has continued to masquerade himself as a party faithful.

“Meanwhile, Orbih is the exact leech who is neither here nor there and his attitude has led to chaos among party faithfuls in the South-South region and particularly, in Edo, his home state.

“After an emergency meeting today of top South-South Youth leaders and critical stakeholders of the party, we resolved that for peace to reign in the region, the man at the helm of affairs, Chief Dan Orbih has to resign.

“Orbih is said to be very distracted, uncoordinated and lacked the qualities of a good leader.

“It was also mentioned that worst still, he is always absent at critical meetings held and this is not good for the party.

“And more irritating is  his pronouncement that he will sabotage the PDP 2023 presidential campaign.”

According to Arusuayine, based on the considerations, the group observed that Orbhi’s decisions were  geared towards self.

Arusuayine maintained that, “His countenance towards the affairs of the party is also geared towards bringing evil and bad luck if quick actions are not taken and measures put in place to checkmate him.”

He said that it was a danger waiting to happen, hence, the youth and major stakeholders have  called on him to resign and allow a tested and competent leader, Elder Emma Ogidi, to lead the party again to victory in the region.

Arusuayine declared: “Chief Dan Orbih should honorably step aside.

“Or better still, we call on the Party’s National Working Committee  (NWC) to use the powers given to it by Party National Executive Council (NEC) to suspend Orbih,  until it is proven that he is born again, politically.

“A house divided against  itself cannot stand, so, Orbih should allow Elder Emma Ogidi to come back to put the house in order and ensure winnings for the party in the South-South which is very crucial for the upcoming elections.”
