Thousands of people hired by former Niger
Delta Affairs Minister, Peter Godsday
Orubebe, last Thursday turned against him
when he failed to pay them, several sources have told SaharaReporters. Mr. Orubebe, who had hired the crowd from across Delta State, is a
candidate for the governorship of the state.

“The same people he hired to show support for
him staged a mass protest against him because
he did not meet his promise to pay them,”
according to one source.

The protesters reportedly gathered at Mr.
Orubebe’s campaign office shortly after the
former minister’s declaration in Asaba, the capital
of Delta State. Mr. Orubebe has long eyed the
governorship seat in Delta State, and has formally
announced his intention to run in 2015.

“Elder Orubebe sent his people to go all over the
state and rent crowds of people, but in the end he
did not pay the sum of N200 to N500 that his
people promised to pay the crowd he rented
from every nook and cranny of the state,” said a
spokesman for a civil rights group based in Delta.

The source added that people like Mr. Orubebe
represented the politics of voter inducement that
has caused a lot of moral disruption and led to
democratic woes in the state and Nigeria at large.

The visibly angry protesters, who included
women, men and the youths, rained curses on
Mr. Orubebe, describing him as fraudster who is
not fit to govern the state. They also accused him
of looting funds during his tenure as Minister of
Niger Delta Affairs.

“Why can’t he pay us common two hundred naira
that he said he will pay?” one of the protesters
stated, admitting that he was recruited from
Ogwashi Uku to pose as a supporter of the former
minister.

SMH for 9ja polithievcians

What surely goes around,comes around!

This is the most ridiculous act ever. PDP have deliberately impoverished Nigerians in order to continue their hold in office through inducement of meagre N500.

These are the sort of news you can never associate with Buhari. Why I love the man. People don't get paid or seek to get paid for supporting him.

N200 - N500, haba Nigerian youths!!
Smh.

Nigerian youths are just a bunch of disgrace
Always willing tools to be hired out for political purposes..

They deserve what they get. Serves them right. South South people they are comedians sorry for my subtle language. They should not have left that place in peace the building should have been set on fire but we are all different you see.

These are the same guys who come here daaily to spew balderdash. Stay in the sun for like 3hrs just because of N200?! Anyways, I wouldn't blame most of them. Since the government doesn't wanna employ them. I only blame them for being sycophants for the government who has failed them. PDP. GEJ himself rented a crowd when he came to Benin for a zonal rally.

BTW, OP you should have posted the link here, so the thread can hit the homepage. Anyways, here it is:
