APC slams Ngige over Peter Obi comment

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has asked the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige to resign if he can’t support the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

APC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Murtala Ajaka, tasked Ngige and other political appointees of the party to openly support Tinubu.

Ajaka was reacting to Ngige’s remarks on who to endorse between Tinubu and the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Ngige said the decision on who to support between Tinubu and Obi is difficult.

However, Ajaka berated the Minister over his comment.

In a statement on Saturday, Ajaka said, “It is expected of a serving minister in an APC government to be a trusted Apostle of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency in 2023, who along other party leaders laboured to ensure the enthronement of the same government in 2015 which they are now serving in.
