Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has more strong words for former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe after the latter described him as a ‘garage boy’.Oshiomhole described Orubebe as an elevated thug and a political jobber,
 who is out to make noise as a means of getting his next meal ticket
This was contained in a statement released on Thursday, August 27, 2015, by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Peter Okhiria.
It reads:
“Reading
 Godsday Orubebe’s infantile outburst saying that the governor of Edo 
State is a “garage boy,”  easily exposes the boondocks orientation and 
lowly mind of someone, who almost plunged the country into political 
anarchy in the last general election.”
“It easily 
underscores one of the reasons why the Goodluck Jonathan administration 
failed abysmally to understand the nexus between promise and 
performance, between problems and solutions, and above all between 
prosperity and poverty.”
“Orubebe is no more than a
 common tout and political thug, too illiterate to know the difference 
between a “garage” and a “motor park,” recruited by his paymasters as 
Deputy Director-General of the 2015 Goodluck/Sambo Campaign 
Organisation, and agent provocateur to truncate the last elections.”
“But
 for the maturity and sound leadership orientation of Professor Atahiru 
Jega, Nigeria would still have been reeking in utter anarchy and 
political protestations.”
“With such indecorous 
conduct coming from a man who ostensibly is an “Elder’ of a Church, 
calls to question the whole essence of his character, personality, 
upbringing and spirituality.”
“That singular 
conduct of his at the election is a living symphony of his egregious 
blunder, absurdities, incongruities and oddities, all of which are 
attributes of touts always desirous to make their voices heard.”
“It
 is due to his amnesia that he forgot to understand that as a Nigerian 
and Governor of a State, Oshiomhole has statutory right to go in and out
 of the Presidential Villa to discuss issues that affect Edo State. 
Former President Jonathan was President of Nigeria and not President of 
his party, the PDP.  He was under obligation to attend to all parties 
and persons irrespective of their political affiliation.”
“The
 real problem of former President Jonathan was having people like 
Orubebe, who pigeon-holed him as president of the Ijaw nation and 
prevented him from appreciating the enormity of the challenges facing 
the Nigerian nation.”
“To further compound the 
challenges was the dénouement of his unruly and thuggish imputation 
during the elections, such tendentious character index that is now 
synonymous with this Niger-Deltan; that notorious script; such a 
shameless role by a shameless father who was supposed to be a role model
 for good parenting.”
The trouble between the two 
started when Orubebe said that Oshiomhole had been crying around former 
President Goodluck Jonathan for aid during the latter’s administration
