Following his victory in the court in the fraud allegation against him, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe has said that light has triumphed over darkness adding that he has taken back his murdered integrity.
Orubebe was reacting to the judgment of an Abuja High Court sitting at Apo which struck out a six-count charge preferred against him by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, over his alleged complicity in a N1.97 billion contract fraud.
According to Orubebe, ““I made a vow in 2007 not to disappoint God when I took oath of office to serve my motherland as a minister.
“Though men were out to ruin me, my Jehovah has vindicated me. In fact, I have seen the goodness of the Lord today,” he said. Read: Alleged N1.97bn fraud:

“Why Court struck out charge against Orubebe Orubebe, who maintained that he was only an innocent victim, marked to be sacrificed because of his intimate relationship with former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“The innocent may fall, the innocent may stumble, but he will never suffer in vain. “Aside the fact that I hold my integrity and faith in God in high esteem,
“I went into government to serve Nigerians, not my pocket nor bank accounts. Right from the day I was taken to court, I maintained that I was innocent and God has proved that today.
“Truth may live a difficult life, but it will always prevail. I am now vindicated, my tarnished image has been restored and I can again be celebrated by my admirers.
“I hold no grudge, against any man.”
