Read How Orubebe Reacted To Allegation Of Taking N70 Million Bribe

A former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, has denied charges against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) sitting in Abuja, saying he did not demand and collect bribe of N70 million from a contractor handling a skill acquisition project for the ministry when he was minister, neither does he own the plots of lands in

Asokoro and Kyame, as alleged.

The former minister who caused a stir at the National Collation Centre of the 2015 General Elections in Abuja, said: 

"I cannot lay claim to plots of land I had since donated to other people and moved on in life. I have an image and integrity to keep and none of the people who know me can say that I have ever collected a bribe from anyone," 

Orubebe said. The former minister is to appear before the CCT on November 9.
