PDP RIVERS STATE MOURNS, CHIEF DAN OSI ORBIH (SOUTH-SOUTH VICE CHAIRMAN)
The State Executives and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Rivers State Chapter, received with great sadness, the news of the passing of our South-South Zonal Chairman, of our great party, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, which occurred yesterday.
Chief Orbih, a renowned Legislator and political icon, was a huge support system, an engine room of our party. A man who had distinguished himself in politics, a colossus, who has left an indelible mark and shoes, too big to fill. We are consoled by the positive legacy he left, his service to our great party, whicn is a testament of loyalty, unwavering dedication, focus and commitment even in trying times. He showed us resilience and audacious bravery in the many systemic upheaval he surmounted in his political sojourn.
While, we condole with our South-South Zonal and National Leadership, we moreso, condole with our National Leader, His Excellency, Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, GSSRS, who lost not only a party Leader but a formidable ally who stood by him when it mattered the most.
Our prayer is that, may his memory be a blessing and his legacies and contributions to the ideals of democracy, never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, the great Chief Dan Osi Orbih, we shall honour you by joining our National Secretariat, to ensure that all our flags at the State and Local Government Secretariats across our dear state, are flown at half mast.
Hon. John Ndubueze Nwachukwu, JP,
Acting State Chairman, PDP Rivers State.
