Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige on Saturday dismissed claims that he has been mobilizing to replace Willie Obiano as Governor of Anambra State.
In the statement signed by his media aide, Emmanuel Nzomiwu, Dr Ngige, a former Governor and Senator, said he was too occupied with his duties currently as a member of Economic Sustainability Committee headed by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and member of Federal Cabinet Committee for implementation of Economic Recovery, aside his duties as Minister of Labour and Employment.
Ngige said he has no regrets recommending such committed and steadfast party members for federal appointments allocated to the State.“The attention of the Hon Minister of Labour and Employment Senator Dr Chris Ngige OON has been drawn to a news item that the Minister wants to contest and have been mobilising to replace the incumbent Governor Obiano.
“The Minister is occupied, involved and engrossed with his duties as a member of Economic Sustainability Committee constituted by President Buhari and headed by Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to develop a comprehensive and clear economic plan to tackle the challenges and fallouts of COVID-19 and post COVID-19 era; and member of the Federal Cabinet Committee for implementation of Economic Recovery.
Ngige said he had no regrets identifying those who laboured and campaigned for the party when people called APC, Boko Haram party, and not to talk of original members of the defunct legacy parties that merged to form APC, namely, the Action Congress of Nigeria , the All Nigerian Peoples Party and the Congress for Progressive Change .
