The Minister of Labor and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, reportedly gave a recent television station interview in which he expressed his own views, according to the All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Anambra State.
Remember that Ngige declined to openly declare who he would support for president in the 2023 elections when asked whether he would support his party’s flagbearer, Bola Tinubu of the APC, or his buddy, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), during an interview appearance on Channels Television.
He stated that he will make his decision at the polls and that he is not required to officially declare his vote.

Ngige declared: “Both of them are my friends. My choice will be in the ballot box. It is a secret ballot. I shouldn’t tell Nigerians what I would do secretly.”
The Anambra State chairman of the APC, Basil Ejidike, stated that the minister did not speak for the party in Anambra State during a media conference on Thursday.
When they are elected president and vice president, Tinubu and Kashi Shettima should reward loyalty, dedication, and hard work rather than picking people who had no part in their creation.
He said: “We are here to clear the air on the recent interview by the minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige on Channels Television.
“Ngige was on Channels and was unable to express support for the candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the coming election.

“For us, we believe his appearance was personal and has nothing to do with APC in Anambra State. He was not there to represent APC or speak for APC. The views he expressed are personal to him.”
He said the Anambra State APC is strategizing on how to deliver victory for Tinubu and Shettima.
According to him, “APC in Anambra is fully committed to delivering Tinubu in the forthcoming election. We have set up committees to ensure that this time around, no stone is left unturned. The strength of our mobilization will be made manifest in 2023 after the election.
“The recent appointment of Imo State governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma who is the financier of APC in the South East, and Margaret Okadigbo as the campaign coordinator will help us to attain victory.”
