In an interview with Leadership, the former minister who reacted strongly against the allegation, wondered why a section of the media will indulge in such “slanderous, libelous, derogatory and deliberate attempt” to dent his image and misled Nigerians after his explanations to justify the protest he staged and the passionate apology he rendered to Nigerians, especially, the teeming youths.
He said, “I am shocked. In fact, am still wondering why I will ever consider conniving with friends and other party stalwarts to foment national violence that will in turn fall on children, women and youths as falsely speculated to the detriment of the unity and peace of our great nation. I am an advocate of peace. This was why I was in the forefront to anchor the celebrated ceasefire with Niger Delta ex- militants to usher in peace to the once restive region. I cannot afford to sacrifice national unity and peace on the platter of power.”
It would be recalled that Orubebe verbally attacked the INEC chairman at the result collation center in Abuja because he was pushed by the conduct of Prof.Jega , who failed to exhibit fairness and equity to his party’s petition as he did to APC’s petition against Rivers state result.
