Ngige attacks Obi over Anambra poll
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said that a former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi came into politics without a vision.
Ngige spoke in Awka, Anambra State capital, during a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress in preparation for its governorship campaign.
He added that Obi left as governor of the state after eight years without positively impacting on the lives of the people.
Ngige was apparently reacting to Obi’s claim that he fulfilled his campaign promises to the people during his reign as a governor.
Ngige, who is the chairman of the Tony Nwoye Campaign Organisation said the 16-year rule of the Peoples Democratic Party in the country was a waste.
He said the PDP failed to redeem its electoral promises to the people, saying that the APC was ready to deliver the country from the woods.
He said, “Nwoye and the APC have a comprehensive blueprint for the development of the state and the country at large.
“Nwoye has promised to provide functional and quality social amenities and infrastructure aimed at improving the lives of the people within two years of his administration,” Ngige said.
