BrandNewsDay reports that Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, appeared to hesitate in endorsing his party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Friday, October 7, Ngige, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, said he will make his choice at the ballot.
“I’m not active in politics for now because I am facing national assignment,” he said when asked his preferred candidate between the APC’s Tinubu and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
“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.”
Ngige, however, noted that Tinubu performed incredibly well in Lagos and laid “a solid foundation” for the state, an often-used campaign argument made by APC supporters.
When pressed on who he feels will win the 2023 elections, Ngige said the big parties have problems.
“We have problems in APC; PDP has its own. Their own is two times our own. Our own are family disagreements.
Meanwhile, BrandNewsDay Nigeria reports that Bola Tinubu is the Presidential candidate of the APC while Peter Obi, is the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 election.
