“I condemn this barbaric savagery in very strong terms, and I urge the security agents to thoroughly investigate the criminal act, fish out the perpetrators as well as those who might have remotely or closely aided their actions, and make them face the full consequences of their debasing actions.”
Orbih’s delegation comprised of Senatorial leaders of the party in the state.
The delegation said that they came on behalf of Orbih who was not around to express solidarity with him and the other party chieftains who were reportedly assaulted on the position they took in the rejection of the harmonisation of the party structures in the state.
The team led by the State Vice Chairman, North, Hon Segun Saiki, the Local Govt Party Chairman, Hon Kayode Ogunubi, Dele Elempe, Women leaders and others expressed solidarity with Pa Dania and on behalf of Orbih urged him to remain steadfast on his convictions and beliefs concerning internal party democracy.
