#NigeriaDecides -Jega responds after PDP official disrupts collation,calling him Biased



A Former minister of  Niger Delta,Elder Godswill Orubebe disrupted the declarations today,accusing Jega of being biased and also slammed him for tribalism ....He insisted the Collation of results won't go on,accusing the INEC chairman of being partial ..He said the PDP's petitions of election rigging( Katsina, Kaduna and Jigawa)have not been attended to while those of the APC eg Rivers)are being investigated by INEC already ..

Jega was forced to respond to the allegations..
 You said you submitted a petition I refused to accept..You claimed a result released by the APC was  allegedly  given to them by me..
Yesterday,after we took the fist batch of results and a recess was declared..as I walked back to the office, my PA said to me, here are some papers a rep of PDP sent .Bello Fadili gave some documents to my PA on the stand,while results were being collated ,on live TV..I told him(my PA) to return the documents..This is because I don't receive petitions on the stand.Subsequently, he sent a text message..I said we don't collect peitions on the platform,when collecting results..He said I should have left my office open..I told him the Secretary of the commission is in the office..(continue)
I can't receive petitions in this hall, on this platform..
He replied, he will see what he can do.As I speak, I have not received anything ..
Jega responded to allegations he gave APC results before hand,which they published on his website
I do not give results to anybody..The results were formally declared her..
so as far as I am concerned,I have not given anybody results..It's unfair to speak about something I have not seen.
Jega ended on a stern note.
Mr.Orubebe you are a former minister of the Federal republic of Nigeria,so you should be careful about the things you say and your public conduct ..let us not disrupt this process of an election that has ended peacefully 
After Jega asked that the collation should continue, Mr Dickson, did not relent,insisting the collation won't continue.. and it is unknown if he was whisked away by the security..But it appears he was led away peacefully..
