He said, ''Election is a passionate thing and I really regret what took place this morning. I was unnecessarily pushed by Jega to get to that level. I want to apologise particularly to young Nigerians that look up to take politics as a career to say that what happened was not intended to cause them any embarrassment.
''To Nigerians generally, I regret my actions as even an elder in the church, and a leader, the young men expected to see a lot from me and I believe that if there was any disappointment they got from me I apologise to Nigerians and to the youths of this country''.
Begging Niger Delta Youths not to take the law into their hands, Orubebe said, ''We have always talked about peace in this country and remember that when there was crisis in the Niger Delta, I was one of the architects that sacrificed to got the creeks to tell the militants that we need peace in this country alongside President Goodluck Jonathan''.
On President Goodluck Jonathan’s concession Orubebe said, ''Two things are in place. The president is the president of everybody. As a statesman and as a president; he has done what he should do''.
He however added that the President was just one person and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was prepared to take whatsoever steps it deemed necessary if they felt cheated.
