Anambra APC Disowns Ngige, Declares Support For Tinubu
Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, has been disowned by the Anambra state chapter of All Progressives Candidate after he refused to endorse Bola Tinubu, the party’s standard bearer.
Appearing in a television interview Ngige said he would decide on which presidential candidate to vote for when he goes to exercise his franchise.
“Both of them are my friends. My choice will be in the ballot box. Whether conscience or no conscience, on that day in February, I’ll have one vote,” he had said.
In a statement on Sunday, Basil Ejidike, chairman of APC in Anambra, said Ngige’s views do not represent the party in the state.
“Ngige never said he represented the party during the interview and whatever he said was personal and does not reflect the position of the party in Anambra state,” Ejidike said.
He said the party in the state is supporting Tinubu for the presidency.
