Godsday Orubebe, Nigeria’s former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs has
rubbished reports that he was defecting to the All Progressives Congress
(APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Orubebe said
reports attributed to him on a Twitter account, @ElderGOrubebe, was
completely false, noting that, he is committed to the PDP and its cause.
“The
reports are absolute nonsense. I am a believer of the PDP and I am with
my Oga (boss) President Goodluck Jonathan. The reports online and on
social media media are totally false,” he told our correspondent via
text message.
Earlier today, a tweet attributed to him read: “I
have concluded plans to join my folks in the APC to champion and sustain
the movement for a better Niger Delta in the new administration.”
It
will be recalled that Orubebe became an item during the last election
when he tried to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega from proceeding with results from
states across the country.
Orubebe who was a Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, agent during the election threw caution to the wind,
claiming the PDP protested the election results in Kano, Katsina, and
Jigawa states.
“You are partial. You have been compromised. We
cannot take it from you again. We have no confidence in what you are
doing. This cannot continue,” Orubebe said.
