International Conference Centre (ICC) when a chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and former Minister of
Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe accused the
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega of working for the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to win the 2015 presidential
election.
The confusion started immediately after the commission
reconvened for a continuation of the release of results by
Collation Officers when Orubebe called for an observation,
and when he was recognized, he began by calling for the
INEC chairman to send a committee to investigate the
claims of his party that results from some northern states
were manipulated.
“We have lost confidence in what you are doing, you are very
selective, you are partial and selective, we don’t believe in
you any more. You have compromised, we will not take it
from from you.
“We will not allow you, we will not allow this, Nigerians will
not allow this, we will not allow this until something is done.
“Jega is partial, we will not take it, let Jega set up a
committee to go to Kano, Katsina, Jigawa and Kaduna to
investigate our objections with the elections there as he did
to River State where the APC raised an issue. Jega has
nothing to say here, he has nothing to say, let him go back
to his office” said an angry Orubebe who even refused to
allow Jega to explain what happened.Elder Orubebe picture at the collection centre
The former minister also seized the microphone and sat on
the ground even as he warned everybody including the
security agents present not to come close to him.
However when the drama which lasted for about about 20
minutes subsided, the INEC chairman who sat calmly
throughout, simply told Orubebe to always be mindful if his
conduct in public especially as a former minister of the
federal republic.
“Mr. Orubebe let me say that you must be sure of the
comments you make and as a former minister of the Federal
Republic, you must know how to conduct yourself in publuc”.
Jega told Orubebe.
