The turmoil within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State escalated on Sunday as the faction aligned with the party’s National Vice Chairman (South-South), Chief Dan Orbih, conducted its state congress, resulting in Nosa Ogieva being appointed as the new state chairman.
Ogieva and 13 other members of the state executive were sworn in at the event. While 11 members were returned unopposed, Tony Aziegbemi, Henry Tenebe, and Victor Enoghama contested for the positions of Chairman, Secretary, and Deputy State Chairman, respectively. A total of 576 delegates from the 192 wards participated in the congress.
In his statements, Chief Dan Orbih encouraged delegates to select trustworthy leaders capable of reconstructing and rejuvenating the PDP in the region.
He noted that the results of recent by-elections indicated a necessity for renewed solidarity and leadership within the party, asserting that the congress presented a chance to restore internal harmony and fortify the PDP’s framework in preparation for upcoming elections.
Orbih also dismissed an earlier statement issued by another faction advising members to boycott the congress, encouraging party faithful to remain focused on the collective goal of rebuilding the PDP in Edo State.
