Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has vowed not to campaign for Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election.

He, on Wednesday openly said wouldn’t campaign for any of the foremost presidential candidates during the 2023 presidential election for these reasons.

Ngige who spoke to journalists on Wednesday in his village at Alor, Anambra State, pointed out that the four major contenders are his friends.

Ngige said: “The four frontrunners are good candidates with cognate experience in governance at the federal and state levels.

“They are my friends and they are well known to me. They have worked with me in one way or the other before.

Ngige added: “Former vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was at the helm of affairs in the country when I was kidnapped as a sitting governor.

“He was acting for Mr. President who was away in Maputo at that time. He ordered my reinstatement. We sat together in the National Economic Council where he is the chairman. We formed the Action Congress (AC) with Asiwaju,” Chris Ngige stated.

According to Ngige, “Bola Ahmed Tinubu of APC is also my good friend and political ally. He was very supportive during our trying times as governor. We formed AC together.

“We worked together in ACN and I became the lone opposition senator in the eastern region under the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). He is not somebody I don’t know.”

On Peter Obi, Ngige said: “Peter Obi of the Labour Party is my brother; his local government is next to mine here. He is my successor and everything. I know him too well. I know his capacity.

Meanwhile for Kwankwaso, Ngige pointed out, “Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of NNPP is my friend too. I knew him as deputy speaker of the federal house of representatives under Agunwa Anaekwe in 1991 as speaker. We were in APC, so, I know him.

In summary, Ngige said: “For me, let the Nigerian people vote right. Let Nigerians look at them and their manifestos and vote, according to what is right for the country.

“I don’t think I will go around campaigning for candidates A or B or C. I won’t do that. It is not my stock in trade. I don’t jump from party to party. “Besides, I have some conscience and I am going to protect my conscience and make sure that I don’t hurt it.”
