Dr Chris Ngige
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has said that political godfathers removed him as governor because he refused to do their bidding of “opening” Anambra State treasury for them.

Ngige, who refused to mention the names of the “godfathers”, also said he was attacked by the “powers that be”, simply because he decided to work for the people and for the development of the state.

The minister made these remarks in Awka on Saturday, after he was honoured by the traditional Ruler of Awka, Obi Gibson Nwosu, during the biennial Egwu-Uzu festival.

Ngige, who was the state governor between 2003 to 2005, recalled that his administration, as of then, embarked on mega infrastructure projects, public service reforms, prioritised workers and pensioners welfare, attracted federal presence and enthroned peace and security in the entire state, not minding the huge debts he inherited from his predecessor.

He was conferred with an Igbo royal title of “Onyili Mmagba,” meaning the man who wrestled everybody to the ground, escaped and gave freedom to others.

Ngige recalled that as a governor, he was kidnapped, though he did not pay any ransom to free himself.

He said, “I decided to work for the Anambra people and that became the main crux of the problem. Will you stand and work for the people or the godfathers? So, I stood with the people and worked for them.

“Before I came into office, Awka was a village but we transformed the village to a befitting capital city. We brought infrastructural development and introduced reforms in the public service. We tarred all the roads in the GRA, Awka. We dualised Nnamdi Azikiwe Road and put streetlights on them. We repaired the water scheme and got water running in three quarters of the city including Akwata.”

We know the godfathers. And thank you Ngige for opening our eyes in Anambra.

Anambra people have decided to be their own godfathers

Bullshít, I hate it when people cannot name names when making talk like this

NGIGE was doing Chris Uba’s bidding until Chris miscalculated and
kidnapped him. He even gave Uba an Irreversible Standing Order of 10M naira
to be deducted at source monthly from Anambra allocation.He had sent his
cabinet list to Uba for vetting.Infact he was doing Uba’s bidding only that
Uba ran out of patience.Had Chris Uba not miscalculated, NGIGE would have
looted the Anambra treasury with him.Therefore,NGIGE is an opportunist like
CHRIS UBA. We should see Chris Ngige the way we see Chris Uba.

Is it not the same thing between Ladoja and Adedibu in Oyo
And Obasanjo supervised the whole mess, but still forms sanctimonious holy born again elder statesman to us since we can’t think.

Holly Gram real matters. WTF MAN

That’s Normal

God fatherism is part of Nigeria’s political system

If you don’t dance to the tune of the deciders, you will booted out

You must remit accordingly.

In other words, Ngige and Chris Uba jointly planned to loot Anambra treasury, but Ngige outsmarted Uba.
