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
