Why Ngige refused to resign while running for 2023 Presidency

 


Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, has said why he will not resign in order to run for president in 2023.

Ngige, who announced his intention to run for president in 2023, said he has not gotten any explicit instructions on his presidential aspiration from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ngige denied knowledge of the APC directions that all appointees should retire ahead of the May 30 presidential primary when speaking to reporters following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.

He insisted that his choice to stay on the Federal Executive Council was made in accordance with the 1999 Constitution, as modified.
