The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lost one of its prominent South-South leaders, Chief Osi Daniel Orbih, who reportedly died at London on Monday, August 31, 2026.
He was born on October 27, 1961. The cause of the death of the politician is yet to be disclosed by the family.
The announcement was made in a statement signed by Francis Udukhomoi Orbih, Esq.
Orbih, who until his death was the PDP National Vice-Chairman, South-South, passed away in what the family described as “total submission to the will of the almighty God.”
“With profound sadness and a heavy heart but in total submission to the will of the almighty God, the family of Chief M.C.K. Orbih announce the passing of our beloved brother, husband, father and uncle, Chief Daniel Osi Orbih, who passed away on Monday, 31 August 2026,” it said.
Born at Ogbona in Etsako Central LGA, Edo State, on October 27, 1961, Orbih was widely known as a loyal party man and a close ally of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
He played a key role in shaping PDP politics in the South-South zone over the years, and was respected across party lines for his grassroots mobilization and commitment to the opposition party.
Beyond politics, Orbih also served as Chairman of the Governing Council of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, where he provided leadership direction for the Edo State-owned institution.
The late politician is survived by his wife, Mrs. Florence Orbih; daughters, Ms. Winifred Anwosiobor Orbih and Dr. Mildred Omonemi Orbih; siblings; and other extended family members.
“At this difficult time, we ask family members, friends and well-wishers to remember the entire family in their prayers as we mourn this painful loss,” the family said.
