Orbih, who gave the advice while flagging off the PDP campaign rally at Saboginda-Ora in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State, said All Progressives Congress, APC, government of President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to deliver on the promises it made to Edo people and Nigerians in 2015.

He told the people to campaign for PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying that it was only PDP that can solve the hunger and myriad of problems that Nigerians were suffering from.
