In the lead-up to the Bayelsa gubernatorial election, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, the National Vice Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-South region, created a significant impact on Monday as he, along with nine of the ten members of the PDP South-South Zonal working committee, visited Yenagua to boost the party’s chances of winning.
Their presence was marked by the commissioning of major projects that Governor Sen Duoye Diri’s administration completed, underlining their support for the PDP candidate and the state’s incumbent governor.
Chief Dan Osi Orbih, in his speech, pledged unwavering support from the South-South zone for the PDP candidate and assured that he would embark on a series of campaign rallies on Tuesday with the governor and his campaign team.
As keen Bayelsan political observers noted, this commitment is a massive boost for the PDP’s chances in the November 11 election.
The involvement of influential stakeholders like Dan Orbih is seen as a welcome relief for Governor Diri, especially in light of the upcoming election, which tests his political prowess.
It’s worth noting, however, that his governorship was first secured through a court judgment that removed the APC candidate from the equation.
In summary, the recent visit of Chief Dan Osi Orbih and the PDP South-South Executive Committee to Yenagua is a testament to the party’s strong support for the Bayelsa gubernatorial election.
Their presence and commitment signal a significant step forward for the PDP and provide a game changer for Governor Diri, who faces a crucial electoral challenge on November 11, with the backing of key figures like Orbih, who is capable of drawing more national support for PDP in the Bayelsa, is offering a ray of hope for his campaign and subsequently his victory!
