Edo 2024: Orbih Charges Gov Obaseki, Shaibu His Dep, Not to De-Market PDP

By Reporter

Chief Dan Orbih, National Vice Chairman South South, has admonished Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu not to “de-market” the party in the state, in the wake of the 2024 governorship election in the state.

Orbih’s advice is contained in a press statement sent to Midwest Herald.

“I have observed with trepidation, the frosty relations between the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu and I am constrained to call on  both parties to  exercise restraint in what to say or do in the  course of this ongoing needless and endless crisis.

“To my surprise, official letters, which should be confidential, are now dominating the social media space. I urge both parties to stop further hostilities and resolve their differences quietly in the interest of good governance and progress of the state. Anything less may affect the image and fortunes of the Party in the coming Guber election.

“Yes, we have had issues in the past between party and government, but we haven’t allowed them to be subject to newspaper editorials.” Orbih said!

 He reminded the number one and number two citizens in the state that, PDP has been notured as a strong brand over the years in the state and regretted that the brand is now under serious threat by the current raging battle between the governor and deputy governor.

“PDP is a strong brand in Edo State – a brand that has been nurtured over the years by the commitment of leaders and dedicated members of the party.

“This brand is now under serious threat by the current raging battle between the Governor and Deputy-Governor.

“I therefore seize this opportunity to call on both parties to ‘cease fire’ and resolve their differences amicably.”
