Ministers: I didn’t reject Buhari’s re-appointment offer – Audu Ogbeh

Former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, has denied reports making the rounds that he rejected an offer of re-appointment following the release of ministerial nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The immediate past minister revealed that much on Saturday when a delegation of the Idoma Development Forum, led by Dr. Jacob Okwori, paid him a visit on Saturday in Abuja, to seek clarification on his non-reappointment as Minister.

While addressing the delegation, chief Ogbeh debunked the insinuation, saying “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.

“It is complete falsehood and mischief for anyone to insinuate that I declined the offer of re-appointment,” he said.
