The Immediate past Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh on Friday dismissed the speculations making the round that he rejected the offer of being reappointed as a minister under the new dispensation.
Chief Ogbeh stated this in Abuja yesterday when a delegation of the Idoma Development Forum led by Dr. Jacob Okwori paid him a visit yesterday to seek clarifications on insinuations surrounding his non-reappointment as Minister in the proposed Cabinet of President Mohammed Buhari.
While debunking the insinuation Ogbeh said, “there was no such thing that occurred. I never rejected Mr. President’s offer for re-appointment. No one approached me on behalf of Mr. President since we left office on 29th May, and I never went to lobby anyone, because I had a very good and smooth working relationship with Mr. President.”
