Former Niger Delta Minister, Elder Godsday Orubebe, raised the alarm Sunday that he was being persecuted for his support and closeness to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Orubebe, who is being charged to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, told a press conference in Abuja on Sunday that he had not committed any offense to warrant being vilified by the present administration.

The former minister also declared that he had never demanded and collected a bribe throughout his six-year sojourn as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said he was convinced that the CCT was out to frame him given the way it had already begun his ‘trial’ in the media when he had only been served with the summons to appear before the court on November 9, 2015.

He said: “I was served with Code of Conduct Tribunal summons on Friday last week and the paper, which I personally signed and collected stated that I was expected to appear before them on November the ninth.

“I was taken aback by the news that I had already been arraigned. This tells me that it is an issue of witch hunt which is not good for this country. It is not good to take me to the public court before being tried.

“The issues contained in the summons are that I took N50 million bribe from one of the contractors who handled a project for the ministry of Niger Delta and another N20 million from the same contractor as well as not declaring my plots of land in Asokoro and Kyame districts of Abuja. I find these charges very empty and frivolous.

And u r a waste to ur entire community as a whole... upon say na dem gather money take send u go skol

I don't know why 9ja politicians don't like going to Court to clear their names...

I don't know when witch hunting becomes a defence in the law court. And he's even talking as if the charge of bribery is the only charge he was served with.

Go and defend yourself and stop saying rubbish. You didn't collect bribe and you want to openly kill yourself for a corrupt man.

And it was evident that he failed. .

As PMB said on channels interview 3 days ago
You can only fear witch hunting if you are a WITCH
you have nothing to fear, either witch hunting or no witch hunting if you did not commit any crime
Those who keep shouting witch hunting are shouting because they are very CORRUPT

Maybe... All politicians should be tried... Perhaps to clear their names in the court so we citizens will know who's without sins and those with sins!

Nonsense! Is there any politician that hasn't deep his/her on public funds before? Why going after the people that really stood against APC in the last election?

It baffles me a lot! Common sense isn't really common as they say!

Orubebe shd tell his tale to Beatty.

I sincerely hope that Buhari knows what he's doing...His actions are in no way portraying him in good light...This country presently needs peace more than anything,even if he wants to fight corruption,he should be tactical about it.. He's going about this whole thing the wrong way and some sections of this country are already feeling witch-hunted. I hope Buhari knows what he's doing!!
