ABUJA – The verbal war between the ex-
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder
Godsday Peter Orubebe and the Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State
Wednesday took a dimension of pedestrian,
with the ex-Minister calling Oshiomhole a
‘garage boy’ and vowing to expose his
dubious deeds against Nigerians.
Orubebe in a swift reaction to Oshiomhole’s
response to his (Orubebe) earlier remarks
on him, said that the Comrade
Oshiomhole’s attempt to link his advice to
President Muhammadu Buhari to be weary
of popular Villa sycophants to his fears of a
possible probe with connection to the East-
West road project shows he is indeed a
‘garage boy’ who lacks focus.
Orubebe who described the governor’s
insinuation as laughable, maintained that the
Edo state Governor has failed to address the
issue of sycophancy which he accused him
of.
He said Oshiomhole is suffering from
chronic diarrhoea of the mouth and that is
why he has lately been misleading Nigerians
as his illiteracy is beyond human
comprehension.
The former Minister of Special duties further
argued that his integrity and high level of
accountability all through his six years
service to the nation as the Minister of Niger
Delta Affairs cannot be matched nor
compromised.
He added, “I am proud to have been a vital
instrument used by God to take the once
abandoned East- West road project to an
admirable 80 percent level of completion. It
is unfortunate that our respected Niger Delta
could produced the likes of Oshiomhole
who is a garage boy that should be at the
motor park as a son.
Threatening to expose Oshiomhole more,
Elder Orubebe said, “I will disgrace him
publicly and tell the world about his dubious
deeds as governor as well as his role in the
botched Third Term Bid of former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
“I am going to open his can of worms to
the point that Nigerians will stone him if
seen on the streets. I don’t talk carelessly as
I have my facts to prove my points.’
On the alleged embezzlement of several
billions of naira under his regime as minister
of Niger Delta, he said, “I am not afraid of
probe, am a man of integrity under whose
watch the abandoned 42 bridges and 1040
culverts that was initially without designed
was upgraded to the level it is today.
“Every reasonable Niger Deltan and
Nigerians at large knows that I am the
admired face of the East West road, I can
stand tall, anywhere and anytime to defend
my administration as well as account for
every dime that was allocated for the
several projects we embarked upon’.
“My Co- ministers and every other person
who was a member of the federal Executive
Council under former president Jonathan’s
watch can attest to the fact that I was a
vessel par excellence who had result
oriented contributed to make towards
moving the nation forward,” he said.
On the statement by the Oshiomhole that
he should be cooling off in jail following his
actions at the 2015 presidential election
collation Centre, Elder Orubebe said, “if he is
reasonable, he will not refer to my action at
the election result collation centre.”
“This is because, history will talk about it
and Nigerians will be proud of me. Yes, I
had to apologise to Nigerians, particularly
the youths over my I term ‘wrong
approach to a just course’. Yes, I had a just
case that was deliberately ignored, as one
who felt cheated, and so reacted
He said, “I’m laughing at him because, if
there’s anyone who should bury his face in
shame, it has to be Oshiomhole who
disgraced, harassed and rough handled a
poor widow who he should have ordinarily
accommodated.”
He continued, “My people are very proud of
me, I mean the aged, the poor and
orphans. I don’t disgrace them before
putting smiles on their faces.
“I maintain the fact that Oshiomhole is a
popular villa sycophant, a garage boy and
that PMB should be weary of him, if he
must succeed and be really admired.”
