Orbih reacts to viral video on molestation of PDP members by faction loyal to Obaseki

By DADA AYOKHAI
The PDP National Vice Chairman, South South, Chief Dan Orbih has expressed his displeasure  over a trending video where it was alleged that a faction of the party loyal to the state governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki  in  Ikpeshi, Akoko Edo local government, unleashed terror on those said to be his (Dan Orbih)  faction.

In the viral video, an old man and some youths were made to sit on the floor and  manhandled by youths alleged to be  Governor  Obaseki's loyalists

The chief Orbih statement read

“Painfully, my attention has been drawn to a social media video of a wicked and shameful attack by some politically patronised youths who unleashed unwarranted terror on unsuspecting Party leaders and members in Ikpeshi, Akoko-Edo LGA, brandishing machetes and other dangerous weapons.

I condemn this barbaric savagery in very strong terms, and I urge the security agents to thoroughly investigate the criminal act, fish out the perpetrators as well as those who might have remotely or closely aided their actions, and make them face the full consequences of their debasing actions. 

This will act as a deterrent for others who wish to take laws into their hands.

Members of PDP in Akoko-Edo LGA should remain calm and go about their robust political engagements as no stone will be left unturned to apprehend the perpetrators and to face the full wrath of the law.

 I urge our party members to continue to engage in peaceful and constructive political activities in line with our party’s constitution.

    The question is whose authority or force does Dan has to enforce this: No stone will be left unturned.

It was therefore not surprising that the late Dr. ROBSON Momoh, The EMOABINO of Auchi Kingdom played  his part well as a protagonist in the Afenmai epicentres of politics, hurdle, tension unleashed by the interparty struggles for offices, the anxiety over the primary and the inexplicable eligibility questions hanging on its standard bearer could not be quantified.
