The executive members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ward 2, Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State, have denied expelling Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, a former representative of Oredo constituency in the House of Representatives and a past governorship aspirant on the PDP platform.
The Ward 2 PDP executive, represented by Chairman Prince Kingsley Eleme, Secretary Obadigie Jesuorobo, and 12 other members, dismissed the alleged expulsion by allies of Governor Godwin Obaseki as laughable, null, void, and an exaggerated farce.
According to Tribune, the exco clarified that they had not discussed or carried out any such action, attributing the claim to a faceless group that might have infiltrated the party through the backdoor.
On Wednesday, June 19, the Edo State Working Committee (SWC) of PDP claimed to have expelled, with immediate effect, the party’s national vice chairman, south-south, Chief Dan Orbih, who is the immediate Edo Chairman of PDP, for alleged anti-party activities.
A former Edo deputy governor, Comrade Phillip Shaibu, and the immediate representative of the Oredo constituency of Edo state in the House of Representatives (Ogbeide-Ihama) were also expelled from the PDP with immediate effect for alleged anti-party activities.
Edo Publicity Secretary of PDP, Ogie Vasco, disclosed that the SWC meeting was attended by nine members at the party’s state secretariat on Airport Road, Benin.
