The Peoples Democratic Party had declared three days of mourning for its National Vice Chairman, South-South, Dan Osi Orbih, who died in London on Monday at the age of 64.

The party directed its offices nationwide to fly its flag at half-mast in honour of the late Edo politician, who was described as a loyal and influential party leader.

Several political figures, including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo and former governor Godwin Obaseki, paid tribute to Orbih.

Wike described his death as a devastating personal loss, while Okpebholo called him a bridge-builder and voice of reason who contributed to political and institutional development in Edo State.

The Edo PDP and APC also mourned Orbih, acknowledging his influence across political divides and his contributions to democracy in the state and the South-South.

Ambrose Alli University, where Orbih served as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, also described his contributions to the institution as indelible.

Orbih, who was a former Edo PDP chairman and later National Vice Chairman of the party, was survived by his wife, children, siblings and other family members. The family said burial arrangements would be announced later.
