Former minister of Niger Delta affairs infamous for disrupting the announcement of the 2015 presidential election winner, Godsday Orubebe, was on Monday, November 9, spotted at a Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja, where he is facing a four-count charge on money laundering.
Ibraheem Al-hassan, head of press and public relations of the CCT, had confirmed that a charge was pending against Orubebe before the tribunal, revealing also that on Thursday, October 29, the summons was served on Orubebe.

The former minister has since denied the allegations, stating that he is being unnecessary framed by the present administration because of his huge support for ousted president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Orubebe also denied ever demanding or collecting bribe throughout his six-year sojourn as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that 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.

According to Vanguard reports, Justice Danladi Umar, the chairman of the Tribunal ordered Orubebe to enter the accused box immediately he entered the courtroom at about 10.43am.

Peter Danladi of the CCB filed the four-count charge on behalf of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) on October 8, 2015.

The counts include: “That you, Godsday Peter Orubebe, while being a Minister of Federal Republic of Nigeria in charge of Niger Delta Affairs, on or about June 29th 2011 did make a false declaration in your asset declaration form by failing to declare plot 2722 Kyamu District Abuja on assumption of office on 26th September 2007 and on leaving office (at the end of your tenure), on June 29, 2011 and you thereby committed an offence under section 15 of Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act Cap C15 and as incorporated under paragraph 11(1) & (2) of Part 1, Fifth Schedule to the Constitution and punishable under section 23(2) of the CCB & T Act.

The Lord is your strength Orubebe. The presidency is looking for ways to put the Ijaws down but the Almighty God and Ogbosu is on our side. We have being navigating towards peace and continuity of democracy but the presidency/APC wants war.

We are talking of Billions and Trillions of Naira carted away by the northerners. Our oil blocks are owned by the northerners. The government is always in the hands of the northerners. The president GEJ never favored the Ijaws. He was too educated and followed due process. He did not allocate enough money for the Ministry of Niger Delta that covers 8 states. No money for the east west road as was lauded by Orubebe when in office.

The people of the north are always favored and not chased. False allegations of declaration of assets of 2 plots of land by a former minister of the federal republic of Nigeria and a church donation of 70,000 million by a purported donor is basically to dent the name of the man of God. The pastor should come out as a witness that carried out that act and must be punished for attempting to bribe the minister of God and the federal republic of Nigeria by church donations.

Nigerians want that pastor to be punished by bribing through Church donations in order to get contracts and then petition if not successful through EFCC or Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Justice Danladi Umar, the chairman of the Tribunal, please take this into considerations

No case against you Orubebe, You are the Chosen One, You are Untouchable. We want our oil blocks even though the price of oil is low.
