The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo State chapter has resolved to expel the National Vice Chairman (South-South), Dan Orbih; a former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, and the former House of Representatives member (Oredo federal constituency), Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama for alleged anti-party activities and gross misconduct.
The resolution followed an emergency meeting of the State Working Committee called at the instance of Edo State PDP Chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi, at the party secretariat in Benin City on Wednesday, June 19.
In a communique issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the Edo PDP spokesman, Ogie Vasco, the party said the move was part of resolutions “after extensive deliberation”.
It said the resolutions were adopted after the meeting including that “the National Vice Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, RT. Hon. Philip Shaibu and
RT. Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide Ihama be expelled from the Party with
immediate effect for anti-party activities and gross misconduct.”
The Edo PDP also called on members to remain vigilant in the face of the boasts by some All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains about taking over the state in the forthcoming September 21 governorship election in the state.
The state chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi, and vice chairman, Harrison Omagbon, among other members of the state working committee of the PDP attended the meeting.
