The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee has suspended its National Vice Chairman (South-South), Dan Orbih, for alleged anti-party activities.
Orbih’s suspension came a few weeks after he was expelled by the Edo State chapter of the party alongside the state’s former deputy governor, Phillip Shaibu, for the same reason.
The PDP chieftain has been under scrutiny for opposing the emergence of Asue Ighodalo as the party’s candidate in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, who confirmed the suspension in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, said Orbih’s actions and comments on the Edo State governorship primary are not in line with the party’s constitution.
