A former Lawmaker who represented Oredo Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Ogbeide-ihama Omoregie, has been expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for anti-party activities, the party said on Tuesday.
According to the statement from Ward 2, Oredo Local Government Area (LGA), the expulsion followed the resolution of an enlarged meeting by the ward members and executives, held on Airport Road in Benin City, Edo State capital.
“The Chairman of PDP Ward 2 in Oredo, Lawrence Aguebor, stated that Ogbeide Ihama was expelled after being suspended by the ward executives and critical stakeholders of Oredo Ward 2. They met on May 3, 2024, and suspended the former representative member for 30 days. Afterward, a disciplinary committee was set up.”

He explained, “The committee wrote him letters, called him on the phone, and sat five (5) times, and Ogbeide Ihama Omoregie failed to appear before them.
“Today, we have received the report and recommendations of the committee and the committee has recommended the expulsion of Hon. Ogbeide Ihama Omoregie from PDP.
The offenses of Hon. Ihama for which he now stands expelled are captured under section 58 (1) a, b, d, e, f, h, l, j, l. With the expulsion of Hon. Ogbiede Ihama Omoregie, members of the general public are to cease and desist from doing any business that has to do with the PDP with him.
“
The ward party members also put his expulsion to a voice vote, with all members backing his expulsion from the party.
On his part, the Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Political Matters, (Oredo) Hon. Victor Enoghama, said the suspension and expulsion was long overdue.
He noted, “Hon. Ogbeide Ihama Omoregie has donated his building at Ring Road by Sakponba Road Junction to the All Progressive Congress (APC) to be used as campaign office for the 2024 September 21st governorship election in Edo State.
“His suspension is long overdue. Let him join the APC family, as we can’t allow him to be in PDP and fraternize with the APC.
Enoghama further charged, “We also call on the ward of the former deputy governor to follow suit and expel Comrade Philip Shaibu from the PDP, also for anti-party activities.
“He is carrying out anti-party activities. He has also donated his campaign office at Airport Road with vehicles to APC for the Governorship election on September 21, 2024. He can’t be in PDP and be supporting APC.”
The Standard Gazette reached out to Honourable Ogbeide Ihama for comment. The Honourable asked readers to “disregard” the statement.
