Chukwuma Soludo

Prof Soludo has been visiting scholar at the International Monetary Fund, the University of Cambridge , the Brookings Institution , the
University of Warwick and the University of Oxford and a visiting professor at Swarthmore College (USA). Chukwuma has also worked as a consultant for a number of international organisations, including The World Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the United Nations Development Programme. [2][3][4]
Soludo is a core professional in the business of macroeconomics. Charles obtained his three degrees and then professorship at the
University of Nigeria in Nsukka , Enugu State . Soludo graduated with a First Class Honors
degree in 1984, an MSc Economics in 1987, and a PhD in 1989, winning prizes for the best student at all three levels. [4][5]
Chukwuma has been trained and involved in research, teaching and auditing in such disciplines as the multi-country macro econometric modelling, techniques of computable general equilibrium modelling, survey methodology and panel data econometrics, among others. Soludo studied and taught these courses at many universities, including Oxford, Cambridge and Warwick. Charles has co-authored, co-edited and authored about ten books on this subject matter. [5]
In 1998 Soludo was appointed to the position of professor of economics at the University of Nigeria; the next year he became a visiting professor at Swarthmore College in
Swarthmore , Pennsylvania, US.
Government
Soludo joined the federal government in 2003. Prior to his May 2004 appointment to the bank chairmanship, he held the positions of Chief Economic Adviser to former President Obasanjo and Chief Executive of the National Planning Commission of Nigeria . In January 2008, in a speech to the Nigerian Economic Society, he predicted consolidation in the private banking industry, saying "By the end of 2008, there'll be fewer banks than there are today. The restructuring of the banking industry has been attracting funds from local and foreign investors, which have increased banks' ability to lend to customers". [6] Chukwuma hopes to see Nigeria become Africa's financial hub, [7] and considers microfinance important to the federal government's economic policies. [8]
Appointment as a member of the Economic Advisory Council (EAC)
On 16 September 2019, the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, appointed him as a member of a newly formed 8-member Economic Advisory Council (EAC), that will be reporting directly to the President.

Chris Ngige

A medical doctor by profession, Ngige graduated from the University of Nigeria-Nsukka in 1979. Chris immediately went into the civil service, serving at the National Assembly and State House clinics at different times. He retired in 1998 as a Deputy Director in the Federal Ministry of Health .[4]
Political career
Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige joined politics, becoming a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP). [5][6] In 1999, he was Assistant National Secretary and Zonal Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South East region of Nigeria.
In 2003, he was elected governor of Anambra State in controversial circumstances. He quickly broke ranks with his political godfather, Chris Uba brother of Andy Uba, after an unsuccessful attempt on 10 July 2003 to have him removed from office, through a fabricated letter of resignation which the state assembly accepted. [7] In August, 2005, an election Tribunal led by Justice Nabaruma nullified Ngige's 2003 victory. He appealed to the Nigerian Federal Court of Appeal, but the annulment was confirmed on 15 March 2006, in a judgment awarding victory to Peter Obi of the
All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). No further appeals were possible, and Ngige accepted the judgment in good faith, calling on the people of Anambra to give their support to his successor. [8] Following Peter Obi's subsequent impeachment, Ngige attempted to participate in state governorship elections in April 2007, but was frustrated by the
Independent National Electoral Commission [ citation needed ] and federal 'disqualification', even after a Federal High Court had voided the disqualification. In the final event, Obi's impeachment was overturned anyway, and Obi served out his four years. [citation needed ] At the time, Ngige was also severely criticized for appearing naked at the dreaded Okija voodoo shrine during his campaign to be made governor. [citation needed ]
On 6 February 2010, Ngige again contested for the governorship of Anambra State. Other notable politicians who contested with him included Andy Uba, Charles Soludo, Nicholas Ukachukwu, Mrs. Uche Ekwunife, Ralph Nwosu, and the incumbent governor, Peter Obi. In all, there were 25 candidates for that election. Peter Obi won that election and started his second term as the governor of Anambra State.
In April 2011, Ngige ran for election for Senator of Anambra Central, on the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) platform. After voting problems in some areas of the constituency on 9 April, the election in these areas was held on 25 April and Ngige was declared the winner over former Minister of Information and Communications Professor Dora Akunyili of the APGA, with 69,765 votes to Akunyili's 69,292. [1]
Ngige's tenure as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria came to an end following his defeat in the 2015 election by Hon. Mrs
Uche Ekwunife who has been sworn in as the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the current 8th National Assembly of Nigeria.
On 11 November 2015, Ngige was named minister of Labour and Employment by President Muhammadu Buhari. In 2019, Chris Ngige was Nominated by President
Muhammadu Buhari as a returning minister for screening by the house of assembly. [9] On the 21st of August 2019, he was sworn in by the president [10] as the Minister of Labour and Employment

Footsoldiers of Peter Obi say he is the chosen one. He has money and will easily outspend other aspirants in the primary.

You are right but Ngige has lost ground in his Idemili stronghold. I think he is no longer as popular as he used to be in Idemili but I may be wrong. As for federal might, Anambra election is a staggered one, the whole country will be watching so there won't be room for mago mago.
