The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy national youth leader, Elder Tim Osadolo, has called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to suspend the National Vice Chairman, South-South, Chief Dan Osi Orbih for alleged anti-party activities.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, Osadolo said it is the time for PDP NWC to show Nigerians that it is a serious party that believes in the principles of justice, fairness and discipline.

According to the youth leader, the time is ripe to start sanitising the PDP and the first bold step in this direction is to suspend Orbih for “open anti-party activities”.

“A few days ago, what seemed unbelievable happened in Ugbona, the village of Dan Osi Orbih and few hours later in Edo Central, where members of a group that fancies itself as legacy group within the PDP, organised a show where they declared their resolve to work against the PDP in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State.

“Here is a man, PDP has completely rehabilitated and made as a man. He has served in juicy national boards, been a state chairman for over a decade and currently a zonal vice chairman, all on the platform of the PDP. If Dan Orbih is to thank God for his life, he will start by thanking God for PDP and end by thanking God for the life of PDP. This is a man despite all PDP has done for him, and given him, has not been able to say thank you to the PDP by assisting in even producing a councillor in his ward. 

“At the last NEC of the PDP, a disciplinary Committee was set up by NEC. Moreso, the NEC gave the NWC powers to act on its behalf pending the next NEC. It is important that the NWC do the needful by wielding the big stick on Dan Osi Orbih and his co-travellers,” Osadolo said.
