The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra state has
disowned Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, for not endorsing Bola
Tinubu, the party’s standard bearer.
While appearing on Politics Today, a programme on Channels
Television, earlier in the month, Ngige said he would decide on which
presidential candidate to vote for when he goes to exercise his franchise.
“Both of them are my friends. My choice will be in the
ballot box. Whether conscience or no conscience, on that day in February, I’ll
have one vote,” he had said.
In a statement on Sunday, Basil Ejidike, chairman of APC in
Anambra, said Ngige’s views do not represent the party in the state.
“Ngige never said he
represented the party during the interview and whatever he said was personal
and does not reflect the position of the party in Anambra state,” Ejidike said.
He said the party in the state is supporting Tinubu for the
presidency.
The chairman also disowned Okelo Madukaife, a former
publicity secretary of the party in the state.
“If the former
national chairman of the party Adams Oshomole could step aside. I don’t know
why Okelo Madukaife is still parading himself as the publicity secretary of the
state APC,” he said.
“He was suspended in July 2021 for anti-party activities.
“As a chairman of the party, I am not aware that Okelo has been readmitted to the party. He is not a member of Anambra State APC.”
