“I have concluded plans to join my folks in the APC to champion and sustain the movement for a better Niger Delta in the new administration,” Orubebe tweeted.
“Details will be released soon. Thank you all,” he added.
The former minister gained notoriety for calling Attahiru Jega, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), a biased tribalist.

The tweets are believed to be coming from Orubebe directly because they were sent out from the same account with which he issued an apology for the election results debacle.
