Outrage Greets Call By Obaseki’s Ally For Orbih’s Suspension – Lifestyle Nigeria

Outrage has emerged over the call by the Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Timothy Osadolor for the suspension from the party of the party’s powerful National Vice-Chairman, South-South, Chief Dan Orbih over the issues in the Edo State chapter of the PDP.

Responding to the call made by Osadolor, the PDP Legacy Media Team in a statement made available to . accused the national officer of playing ostrich with his call noting his silence to the alleged betrayals of Governor Godwin Obaseki to agreements and issues affecting those the governor met in the party.

The Legacy PDP in its reaction said:

It did not come as a surprise reading the letter written by one Timothy Osadolor, who double as the Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, calling for the suspension of our political leader, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, the PDP Vice Chairman, South South.

Ideally, we would have read his letter with passing laughter, but he will relish in his ill-manners and destitute upbringing if we do not respond appropriately to the cacaphony of his diabetic letter.

Timothy Osadolor, the side chic of the obvious sender of the errand, should know that if he must talk about those involved in anti-party activities, he should start with his mini-god, Obaseki. His Obaseki, since 2020 when he was rescued from his fledgling political life, has renegaded on all agreements he has entered with members of the PDP.

First, when the Party through former Governor Ortom Peace Committee shared the various legislative elective positions, and an agreement was reached in Abuja, which was well publicized, Obaseki completely disobeyed the Party.

Secondly, after the illegal impeachment of his deputy, Philip Shaibu, he went on to replace him with a Labour Party, LP, member, Marvellous Omobayo, who until recently when he was appointed, was a card carrying member of LP.
