Ngige To Igbos: Join Popular Political Parties To Produce Buhari’s Successor In 2023

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has appealed  to the people of the Southeast to join the two main political parties, All Progressives Congress(APC) or Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), if they must produce Nigeria’s next president in 2023.

He cautioned the region against making what he termed the “mistake” of former presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party, YPP, Kingsley Moghalu, by contesting under an unknown party in 2019.

He said: “Even in a village meeting, you must stand up and indicate interest for whatever position you want. You make it a topic, and of course, seek for support.

“That’s how the game goes. You don’t stay away from the scene and at the same time be saying that you want power. So, there is still time for us, the Igbos, to go and reinforce.We need to reinforce in the two main political parties. That is what I am saying.

“Why would you jump into a presidential race; not even for House of Representatives?’ If he had declared for governorship, we would have, maybe appealed to him to go for House of Representatives. So, one has to carry political bag and learn from his master. You have to learn the art of politics.”
