Former Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe has denied reports his
protests against INEC chairman Jega at the presidential result
collation centre was a deliberate attempt to cause chaos to pave way for
Jega’s abduction and trigger national violence.
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.”
Orubebe insisted, count me out of any plot to abduct Jega. I am
too discipline to stoop that low. I have never thought of that and to
this effect, I want to tell Nigerians and the world at large that the
circulated story is not only slanderous, libelous but a disparaging
defamatory otherwise salacious material against my personality and a
cheap strategy to sale their papers’.‘I have directed my lawyer to write
ThisDay and stop them from henceforth, desist from further publishing
and misleading Nigerians. Orubebe further accused the paper of flouting
the ethics of balance reportage , saying it in clear terms that ‘I was
never called nor SMS as they claim.’
