The name 'Orubebe' became a popular acronym in 2015 when the man raised dust over what he described as anomaly in the conduct of the presidential election of that year. His singular action almost disrupted the electoral process but the INEC chairman maintained his calm until the 'Orubebe storm' settled and the process continued. 
This video clip is a flashback of who Orubebe is👇.

A Nigerian on twitter with the name Hon. and twitter handle @aleeyuuthman_ caused a lot of ranting when he tweeted that "we all need to apologise to Orubebe... This man tried to save us in 2015"
Several Nigerians responded to this tweet both positively and negatively.
On 31 March 2015, Orubebe, acting as a polling agent for the PDP, made attempts at disrupting the proceedings of the 2015 presidential election collation. Orubebe alleged that INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, had taken side with the main opposition political party, APC. He however subsequently apologized to Nigerians over his conduct by tendering an unreserved apology urging them not to follow in his footsteps and explaining that he regretted his action.
Orubebe became a supervisory councilor, and later chairman of Burutu LGA. In July 2007, President Umaru Yar'Adua appointed him Minister of Special Duties. Later he became Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs when that ministry was created in December 2008. In January 2010, he said that the proposed 10% equity share policy on infrastructural development in the Niger Delta region would make vandalism and crisis a thing of the past.
Would you say Orubebe was actually trying to save Nigerians or save his personal interest? Do share your thoughts on this issue.
