The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, on Tuesday officially declared his intention to run for the position of president on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ngige, who made this known while addressing his supporters in his hometown at Alor in Idemili North, Anambra State, said President Muhammad Buhari had not failed.
According to him, the president worked with the resources available to him.
“Some people will say this administration has failed, a government that built Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Porthacourt Expressway, restored Nigeria’s aviation industry, built railways and built many other landmark projects across the country cannot be called a failure. Buhari performed according to the resources available to him,” he said.
Ngige said that if given the opportunity to lead, he would be president everybody would be proud of.
“Today, I am declaring. I, Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige, formerly declared that I am contesting for president of Nigeria.”
