Wike’s Ally Rejects Membership Of Edo Election Campaign Council, Citing Crisis In PDP

By Ayodele Oni

There seems to be an unending crisis within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as regards the forth coming Governorship Election in Edo State.

The 200-member Campaign Council put in place for the governorship poll is being depleted as some chieftains of the party decline to serve on the council.

National Vice Chairman of the PDP, South-South, Dan Orbih, for instance, has rejected his membership of the Edo PDP 2024 Governorship Campaign Council.

He made the decision known on Saturday at the Edo North PDP Leaders/Stakeholders Meeting (Legacy) held in Ogbona, his county home, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State.

Recall that Orbih’s name was featured on the 200-membership Campaign Council list of the PDP for the September 21, 2024 gubernatorial election, led by Governor Godwin Obaseki as Chairman.

However, rejecting the appointment, Orbih declared that all is not well with the PDP, adding that no one should be deceived.

Orbih is a strong ally of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyensom Wike.
