Dan O. Orbih, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Vice-Chairman, South-South, has reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision on the crisis surrounding Edo PDP candidates for the 2023 elections.
The Apex Court rejected Orbih’s faction on Wednesday and backed the PDP primaries held by the Governor Godwin Obaseki faction, thereby validating the candidates for the upcoming election.
The Afemai born politician issued a statement on Thursday urging all Legacy Group and party members in the state
Orbih described the long-drawn struggle in the party in the state as “a patriotic fight for internal democracy, justice, inclusiveness, equity, and a better state.”
Going further, He said he had no regrets for insisting that “the principles of the party’s constitution and the interest of the majority of its members are respected and institutionalized through a fair and transparent democratic process.”
The PDP chieftain thanked all members of the Legacy Group for their “unwavering commitment to true democracy, justice, fairness and the progress of the party”, adding that “the fruits of your just struggle will manifest in due course.”
“We cannot bow to despondency or surrender to the whims of those who have abused the trust of the people through their obvious tyrannical tendencies”, he urged.
Concluding, the PDP big wig said, “A lot of water has passed under the bridge; God knows what transpired. For our supported candidates and our dear leaders, you have done very well to defend the party. I am inspired by your unwavering commitment to fairness and true democracy. Trust me, You will never walk alone. I am with you.”
