Oshiomhole said further that Orubebe is a fraud who is now afraid of President Muhammadu Buhari’s planned probe of funds spent under the Amnesty programme under his watch.
The Governor of Edo State- Adams Oshiomhole.
This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday, August, 26, 2015, by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria.
Governor Oshiomhole
It reads:
“Our
attention has been drawn to the latest outburst of one clown called
Godsday Orubebe in his attempt to taint the image of the Governor of Edo
State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“It is
no surprise that the former president, Goodluck Jonathan failed woefully
because he surrounded himself with such charlatans as Godsday Orubebe,
whose only credential is his ethnic origin and the large size of his
bowler hat.
“Here was a man whose
un-ministerial conduct at the election nearly plunged the nation into an
avoidable crisis. Does Orubebe really think Nigerians are fools, does
he truly believe Nigerians have forgotten so soon the ignoble role he
played in his attempt to truncate the release of the election results
and announcement of the eventual winner of that election, a move which
could have plunged the nation into another civil war?
“Is
it not a shame that Orubebe who should be cooling off his heel in jail
for that failed plot to truncate democracy has now found a convoluted
voice?
“We are not surprised at the
timing of Orubebe’s latest outburst. It is no doubt unconnected with the
planned probe by President Muhammadu Buhari of the billions of naira
allocated to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, even as the East-West
road remains in bad shape and the probe of the fleecing of amnesty funds
under his watch.
“We are aware that
Orubebe, the perpetual noise maker has raised the decibel of his noise a
notch higher so that he would have a ready-made defence of
witch-hunting if he is indicted in the planned probe of Amnesty funds.
“Orubebe
is a yesterday’s man. We could have chosen to ignore him like his Delta
brother, Mr. Sunny Onuesoke, an unknown entity who doesn’t know the
arithmetics of financing, but decided to delve into a matter of a World
Bank loan, something completely beyond his mental and intellectual
capacity, but we simply can’t let Orubebe have the last say.
“Is
it not laughable that Orubebe, the clown, accused Oshiomhole of biting
the fingers that fed him? Pray, how did Jonathan feed Oshiomhole? Did he
feed Oshiomhole by supervising over a government that fleeced the
nation of trillions of naira, thereby denying Edo State her rightful
share of funds for development? Or did he feed Oshiomhole by canvassing
votes for him!
“Our candid advice is for
Orubebe, a perpetual failed Governorship aspirant, to go to his family
and apologise for the irreparable damage done to the family name with
his infamous outburst beamed live to the whole world, before coming
forward to confront Governor Adams Oshiomhole who is not in any way in
the same class as him.”
Orubebe had earlier described Oshiomhole as a “Villa sycophant” and an ingrate who had been crying to former President Goodluck Jonathan for help during the latter's administration.
