Turncoat Dan Orbih Aims Arrows at Obaseki and Damagum: PDP's South-South Bigwig Blames Duo for Edo's Destruction
"Orbih, an ally of Wike, laments escalating struggles within PDP, attributing it to Obaseki's actions, signifying a catastrophe for the party in Edo"
According to the insider scoop from our corner of the web, Dan Orbih, the National Vice Chairman South South of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), is pointing the finger at former Edo state Governor Godwin Obaseki and acting National Chairman Umar Damagum. Orbih's ice-cold gaze is trained squarely on Obaseki, accusing him of sowing the seeds of the PDP's current woes and wave of defections in Edo State.
But wait, there's more! Orbih, a close ally of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, claims the rot began when Damagun and his crew granted Obaseki the freedom to decide who the PDP's candidate will be in the September 21, 2024 governorship election. This, in Orbih's opinion, is tantamount to building a house on sand.
Echoing the sentiments of an angry mob, Orbih declared that the PDP has never had it this tough in Edo. He made a desperate plea for unity, urging members to band together for the party's rebirth. "If we continue on this path, we might find ourselves with zero representatives in the house," he warned.
Orbih hinted at a difficult but achievable task ahead, requiring commitment, dedication, and time, to mend the wounds caused by the wrecking ball of Godwin Obaseki's governance. He added, "We've anticipated this crisis, as we've previously warned Umaru Damagun and his people about the dangers of giving Obaseki carte blanche to handpick the PDP candidate. Unfortunately, they didn't heed our warnings."
Orbih further elaborated that they're working tirelessly to prevent the PDP from political extinction, reaching out to aggrieved members, many of whom are angrier now than ever, knowing the extent of damage inflicted by Obaseki.
