PDP mourns former National Vice Chairman Dan Orbih after his death

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the death of Chief Dan Orbih, its former National Vice Chairman for the South-South zone, following a family announcement. In a statement released on the party’s official page on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, and signed by National Publicity Secretary Ini Ememobong, the PDP described Orbih’s passing as a significant loss. PDP Interim National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, noted that Orbih held various party positions and contributed meaningfully in each role. The party prayed for God to grant Orbih eternal rest and to give his family, friends, and associates strength to bear the loss. Orbih’s death removes a veteran figure from the PDP’s South-South leadership structure, potentially affecting regional party dynamics ahead of upcoming political cycles. While the statement did not disclose the cause of death, it highlighted his longstanding service and urged members to honor his legacy through continued commitment to the party’s principles.
