A top member of the party in the State who spoke with Dailypost on the condition of anonymity, said the minister, who was also a governor in the State, has been working on the party hierarchy in Abuja to ensure he is handed the party’s ticket for the election.
The source said, “He (Ngige) knows he will face a very tough challenge convincing members of the party in the State to field him in the election, so he is liaising with the leaders of the party in Abuja.
“He is a very intelligent politician, but the problem is that he has already fallen out of favour with some members of the party in the State.
“Many people are not happy with him because he has not empowered members of the party in the State. He has also been the only one taking up every opening in appointment and always taking the party’s ticket in every election, so people are not happy with him,” he claimed.
The source, however, said that Ngige may have succeeded in wooing the leadership of the party, but was now waiting for the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“He needs the backing of the President for APC to win a State like Anambra, and we heard that is the only thing left before he will start making his interest in the contest open,” he added.
Attempts to confirm from the minister about his interest in the governorship election in the State was unsuccessful as calls to his mobile phone was unattended to.
Dr. Ngige, who was elected governor of Anambra State in 2003, was removed in 2006 by an Appeal Court judgement secured by Mr. Peter Obi.
Ngige has variously been senator and minister, and has made several failed attempts to return as the governor of the State.
Selfish short man
ReplyDeleteVery selfish indeed....I've known Ngige in power for so many years, they no dey tire😔😔
DeleteGood luck to him, he did well as a Governor then.
ReplyDeleteWe will gladly have him back.
Nne oo, that was then oo, not anymore. An average Anambrarian thinks him a sellout. But of a true, he really did well during his tenure.
DeleteHe did well then because he had issues with Emeka Offor, who was on his trail so he has no choice than to perform in order to win people over.
DeleteMust he be a governor??Has he not had enough of the national cake??Is he the only one???Greedy man
ReplyDeleteThese people don't just know when to retire. Smh.
ReplyDeleteNgige, don't waste your money, APC will not win in Anambra State. APGA is the ruling party. You can take it to the bank.
ReplyDeleteExactly my dear, he shouldn't bother at all it will be a total waste of funds.
