Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice chair for the South-South, Daniel (Dan) Orbih, dies at the age of 64. Multiple reports say he dies on Monday, 31 August 2026.

Across the outlets, Orbih is described as a PDP figure with roles linked to party leadership in Edo State and the South-South region. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both identify him as an ally of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister. Vanguard further reports that Wike publicly mourns Orbih, describing his death as painful and saying Orbih is a close friend and political associate.

While the accounts agree on Orbih’s identity, regional party leadership background, date of death, and Wike’s association with him, they differ mainly in emphasis—some focus on the announcement of his death, while others highlight Wike’s personal remarks.
