On why the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
lost the 2015 presidential polls
There was serious internal crisis within the
PDP, which led to the defection of some
important members including governors,
legislators and other leaders. Secondly, this
insecurity challenge, especially Boko Haram,
was a key factor the opposition took
advantage of. Thirdly, you know Nigeria
politics; politics of North and South. Some
northern leaders accused Dr Goodluck
Jonathan of refusing to honour the zoning
agreement. I do not know when that
agreement was reached, where it was
discussed. That was a key factor, the entire
North felt power should return to the region.
Also, some persons within the party did not
do well. We see it as a betrayal, the way they
lost scandalously in their areas.

After the election the problem of insecurity
appears to have increased, what do you think
is responsible?

Ebis Orubebe

When the Boko Haram insurgency started
many Nigerians felt it was just Jonathan’s
problem. So people rather than joining him to
fight they were busy blaming him. Even the
people from places where this crisis is going
on were seeing it as just Jonathan’s problem.
So that is how it basically got to this point.
As we can see, this problem has gone beyond
just Nigeria.


These people have connections with ISIS, Al-
Qaeda and other international terrorist
organizations. I will call on all Nigerians to
support the current President and the
government, to see how we would put hands
together and fight it.


On whether the crisis in the Niger-Delta region
will re-surface under President Buhari
Even before the election there were some set
of youths, let me call them ex-agitators who
threatened that if Jonathan was not re-elected
they were going to take up arms again. We
reached out to these agitators and some youth
leaders to take the result of the elections. I
still see some forms of threat, especially on
the part of the ex-agitators; arising from what
is going on in the current government, which I
may call witch-hunt. As of last count, we have
three aides to the former president from the
Niger Delta, who are being detained and no
one has come up to tell us the reasons for
their detention. I have my fears, because I
know the role we played to make sure that
there is peace in the region; and if this witch-
hunt is not halted with immediate effect, I
doubt that we will continue to enjoy peace in
the Niger-Delta.

How do you think this looming crisis can be
prevented?
As a group, we are still planning some
programmes to bring the youths together.


First and foremost, looking at the crisis in the
North-Eastern part of the country, we want to
work with the youths over there because they
are our brothers, and anything happening
there affects every one of us. We are also
planning programmes and activities that will
continue to foster peaceful co-existence
among Niger-Delta youths. We have been
trying to bring various warring factions and
youth groups in the region together to
maintain peace.

We are planning a meeting with the newly
elected leaders in the region, especially the
governors and legislators, to see how we can
pursue a common goal, which is the
development of the Niger-Delta, peacefully.


What is your advice to Mr. President on the
potential crisis in the region?
In President Muhammadu Bahari’s inaugural
speech, he promised to improve on
programmes that were already in place and
that Niger-Delta in particular will have a
special place in his government. So, we are
hoping that he will keep to his promise.
You are the President/Founder of Concerned
Niger-Delta Youths Initiative (CNDYI), what is
the group about?.


The aim of this group is to promote peace and
unity among Niger-Delta youths in particular
and Nigerian youths in general.

It was formed as a result of the polarization
of youths’ groups over the years which has
become a tool in the hands of selfish
politicians with their divisive tendencies and
other Niger-Delta forces.

We set up this group to bring these youths
together in order to foster unity among them
as leaders of tomorrow.

Hmm...he was a Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, l hope he delivered when he was in office.

Lmaooooo

.mm.

He's afraid of the impending probe.

Bros we know you have no shame. Ur prison will not be a conducive one we are taking you to Maiduguri

This shameless old man still have guts to talk in public?

Useless Orubebe.

He nearly made Nigeria boil.

Dolt

hmmmm orubebe! orubebe!! orubebe!!! how many times have i mentioned your name? the one that you did in the INEC HQ is not enough? so let me tell you this time if you try anything like that special kirikiri is your destination.

Pls PMB what is EFCC doing that up to now they have not reach this man's file?

Yungwizzzy:

You can imagine. A politically brain dead man. Very useless and senile in mind and body.

As of last count, we have three aides to the former president from the Niger Delta, who are being detained and no one has come up to tell us the reasons for their detention. I have my fears, because I know the role we played to make sure that there is peace in the region; and if this witch- hunt is not halted with immediate effect, I doubt that we will continue to enjoy peace in the Niger-Delta.

Coming from the same man who brought his militants' brothers to the colation center to harass, abuse, insult and, almost physically assault Jega. You are not a peacemaker and posterity will judge you for that.

Buhari has proved to the ordinary Niger Deltans that he's committed to their plights and, as such ordered the sustenance of the amnesty program and even ordered the implementation of the UNEP which will ensure the cleaning up of Ogoniland, which Jonathan a Niger deltan refused to implement because ogoni is not ijaw.

However, if shielding criminals like you, Diezani, the former Nimasa boss or sustaining that illegal pipeline contract for Tompolo is what you termed as indicators that will make ND to boil, Buhari won't be coerced into your evil agenda sir.

Infact, EFCC will soon knock your door.

I don't want to have anything to do with that name "Orubebe".

The name is now in the same leauge as "Hitler", "Idi Amin", and even "Satan".

Anytime I read or listen any Godsday Orubebe news, his childlike tantrums at the Presidential election result collation center and Jega's mature handling of foolishness comes to mind. This man f up big time sha.
