National Vice Chairman (South-South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, says Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is not the problem of the party but those with entrenched interest.
Orbih, an ally of Wike, said this during the official opening of a factional secretariat of the party in Benin City, on Wednesday.
Orbih who is the leader of the legacy group of the Edo PDP, attributed the party’s problem to individuals whom he said had been contesting every presidential election without adhering to the constitution of the party.
” People are mocking the PDP and asking where they are in Edo, but I can tell you today that PDP in Edo is back,” he said.

Continuing, Orbih said the PDP in the state had been homeless after the All Progressives Congress (APC) evicted the party from its former secretariat in January.
“On January 17, 2025, our former chairman was chased out from our office along Airport Road. Few week ago, I made a promise in one of our meetings that I was going to donate a Secretariat to the Party. So today, we can go back home”
Orbih who accused the immediate past administration in the state of killing PDP in the state, lamented that a party that once had two serving senators, majority of the members of the House of Representatives, now has only one rep member.
”I looked back and I feel sad that this is where we are today as a party. But must at this moment put our past behind us and let us look forward to a brighter future together.
He assured that he would collaborate with genuine and loyal members of the party in the state.
He however called on the current members of the Edo PDP Caretaker Committee to stop issuing statements on behalf of the party, saying it is unknown to the party constitution,
