Former Niger Delta Affairs
Minister, Elder Godsday Orubebe has said he is taking his time before he
replies President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari, speaking at this year’s
Democracy Day lecture in Abuja, said he wished Orubebe was in the audience to
listen to former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, who was the guest lecturer.
The president said: “Here, I must
digress and raise an observation about the programme organizers because I did
not see Mr. Orubebe who ought to have come and listen to Professor Jega deliver
his lecture; this is a major observation.”
“That instance, for those of us
who were lucky that there was light and we had the television to see the
confrontation between Orubebe and Prof Jega, it will remain a life impression
to many of us.”
Orubebe, who was ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan’s agent during that year’s presidential election,
unexpectedly stood up to Jega while the results were being broadcast live, and
accused him of partiality.
Speaking to The Nation, Orubebe
disclosed that he would soon send his reply to Buhari.
“I am in the village. When I come
back, I am going to talk to the press,” he said
“I’m going to send him a good reply but not
here, not now.”
