NGIGE CONGRATULATES SOLUDO, HAILS BUHARI

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has congratulated the winner of the November 6, 2021 Anambra State Governorship Election, Professor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

Senator Ngige, in a goodwill message by his Media Office Wednesday, congratulated the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for a resounding victory in the poll, saying it is a victory well deserved.

He said, “Ndi-Anambra have spoken with this resounding victory. Having contested in 2010 with Soludo, who was then the PDP candidate and myself in ACN; an election in which I was ‘awarded’ the second position even though I won outright and Soludo third, I knew that with his tenacity of purpose and drive, he would one day make it to the seat of the Governor of Anambra State.
“It is a case in patience and endurance, an aspiration nurtured to serve the people with all his strength, I seriously believe. Ndi-Anambra I know, will hence, entertain no excuses . Much has been given, hence the expectation is very high. Knowing Soludo as I do however , I have no doubt that our people have made an excellent choice by voting him. ”

Sen. Ngige also congratulated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a free, fair and credible election, even with the initial hiccups posed by the malfunctioning of the Biometric Voters’ Accreditation (BVAS) system in some places.

“ A solid opportunity is here offered to INEC to brace up to the challenges posed by the Anambra Election, which he labeled “a guinea pig election ” especially with the debut of the BVAS technology for a more credible, free and fair elections in future.

“ At this auspicious juncture, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari deserves a glowing national tribute. I put on record, that Mr. President had on three different occasions, assured through me, that the Anambra governorship election would be free and fair.
“The last of such occasion being on October 14, 2021, when I conveyed the fear and the consternation of the religious leaders , elder statesmen and traditional rulers of Anambra State, more especially that of his friend, the Archbishop of the Onitsha Metropolitan Province, His Grace, Dr. Valerian Okeke to him in his office.
“Not only did the President ensure a level playing field for all the political parties , he directed all the security agencies to deploy into Anambra to protect and secure voters and electoral workers. A promise kept!
“ Worthy of commendation in this direction, is the professionalism exhibited by the security agencies - the army, police, DSS and the Civil Defence during the exercise, in compliance with the wish of the President for the good people of Anambra State .

“ The election has come and gone and it is very free, fair and credible. Mr. President has in deed lived true to his assurances to Ndi-Anambra and by this very fact, demonstrated once again, that he is no enemy to Ndi-Igbo. What a better value to democracy, than a legacy of credible elections, in which the will of the people reigns supreme. May we therefore hail this true democrat!

Continuing, Ngige appealed to all those who contested the exalted position with Professor Soludo to sheath their swords.
“ Only one person would emerge a winner in this contest, more so, when the seat of the Governor of Anambra State can only be occupied by one person at any given time. I therefore urge the other candidates to be good losers and join hands with the Governor-elect to give the state the best.

“As an elder statesman in the state, I have no choice than to irrevocably stand with my dear Ndi-Anambra in their desire for an unfettered freedom to choose their leaders. It is a legacy we must bequeath to the posterity of our people.

“Similarly, I urge Professor Soludo to be magnanimous in victory . Time is here for him to reach out to everybody, including those who aspired with him in his APGA, as well as others who contested on the platforms of other political parties, notably, the PDP, APC, YPP and ZLP, so as to join hands to elevate and restore our state to its enviable position in Igbo land and Nigeria in general .
“ There is no doubt that our dear state, visibly veered off the track of progress since the last three years, when the incumbent Governor started suffering from a second term gubernatorial fatigue.

“On my own part, I’m willing to assist him consolidate the gains made by the previous governors. I will make available to him, human and material resources, to make another successful Governor in our dear State.
“Instructive also, is that our hands of fellowship to Professor Soludo is reciprocal, him being a leading member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council(PEAC) that has been assisting the President’s Economic Sustainability team, led by His Excellency, the Vice President in getting our economy out of the doldrums with the COVID-19 pandemic .”

“ I want to also thank the Anambra electorate for coming out despite all the fears of violence, killings and kidnappings, weeks before the election.
“In commending them, I also thank the “known and unknown gunmen” for seeing reason with the elders that Ndi-Anambra be allowed to vote for the leader of their choice.

“May God continue to bless Anambra State while we collectively work to take it to a greater and more enviable height,” the statement added.

ngige never forget what Andi Uba did to him.

U think ngige will like Andi to win Anambra he knows Andi Uba is a criminal

Ngige hail Buhari
Even Ngige no say apc no fit win anambra

Uba were say he get 230,201 ghost vote for apc primary no even get up to 50,000 for real election.

Andy Uba was simply toast with all the claim of over 200K ghost delegate votes from the APC primary.

Madmohamed1:
ngige never forget what Andi Uba did to him.

U think ngige will like Andi to win Anambra he knows Andi Uba is a criminal

If na you , you go forget

Cornerside talk to Andy Uba.

“however , I have no doubt that our people have made an excellent choice by voting him”. Would Ngige have made this positive and confident comment about his fellow party man, Andy Uba? No!

Parties aside, without doubt, Soludo towered higher than all the candidates. Our hope and prayer is that politicians should not cause distractions to his government.

If we have more professionals like Soludo in politics than professional politicians, our country will move forward.

“The election has come and gone and it is very free, fair and credible”. But his party man Andy Uba disagrees.

“Only one person would emerge a winner in this contest, more so, when the seat of the Governor of Anambra State can only be occupied by one person at any given time. I therefore urge the other candidates to be good losers and join hands with the Governor-elect to give the state the best”. I sincerely hope that this comment is not a sort of mockery directed at Mr. Andy Uba.

PrinceOfLagos:

May God send a "Soludo" to rescue Lagos from the cursed hands of Tinubu and his miscreants , Amen.

Tinubu is your headache
Very disgusting

I love what the short doctor has done here. Most of the APC bigwigs from Anambra are making it obvious they never supported the idea of an Andy Uba candidacy. But who would support an Andy Uba sef over a Soludo and Ozigbo?

We are going to court...

The supreme Court will decide

Thank you Ngige. Remind your ex-colleague Peter Obi to also congratulate the winner in case his anger over 7 billion naira that Obiano didn't give him has made him forget already

But professionals have been ruling Lagos yet your foolish tribesmen will still not allow us rest or there is now a new meaning to professional in Igbo language or professional implies Igbo candidate ?! I don't get.

Which governor that has govern Lagos can you compare to Prof Soludo

Every single governor that governed n still governing Lagos as beta credentials than Soludo. Mr Man no come here de brag, because Soludo is respected for his antecedent does not mean there are others not beta to him especially in Lagos or do you think Soludo can claim he is a beta administrator to Tinubu Fashola Ambode n Sawnoolu unlike the ineptitude set of clowns n failures like Andy Uba, Ozigbo Maduka n Ifeanyi Ubah he had to contend with in Anambra.

My man

Ngige sha...

Trying to fi Baba into the narratives, laik say we no know wetin dey sup..

The people have elected who they want to Rule them.
Let's move on to the Next one.
God bless Anambra State.
God bless Nigeria.

The best man that Anambrans want to rule them has been selected.

All the best to all sane, honest, law-abiding and hardworking Anambrans.

thatigboman1:
can't be declared. No results from 2 local govts as at not due to various reasons.
The election will be declared inconclusive

Stop typing rubbish.
The election is concluded.
Congratulations to the winner already.
A better Nigeria all around is all we want.
God bless Anambra State.
God bless Nigeria.

Meanwhile,
We said this before and we will say it again.
Truth is not bitter, just that some evil people are bitter to the truth.

About transparency in elections...
This can only happen because we have a President that makes everyone vote count, unlike what our darling country has been used to for 16 years of failure.

buchilino:
I ADMIT WEN IT COMES 2 ELECTION, BUHARI REALLY TRIED

Good to see you guys know the kinda good man you've got as a President that you can even vouch for him.
Now, that is integrity at it's peak.
That is one of the things dad will be remembered for in this nation for many many years to come.


Let's give you more insight........


It is a always good and refreshing to see that we have a President who does not intervene in the rule of law.

From Corruption, down to politics, Our darling Daddy always allow the rule of law to take charge...

Memory lane........
Elections In Nigeria now,
There is no need to fear.
Why? Because the will of Nigerians will not be subverted. Never! A President once told us in this country that the coming polls would be do or die.
Not with President Buhari.
Fair is fair.
No foul play.
Under his watch, his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa(now twice), Oyo State, Edo State, Zamfara state and Anambra states.

At the last Council of States meeting, Gov Willie Obiano publicly registered his appreciation to President Buhari, for the level playing ground he made available during the election in his state. With do or die apostles, and a certain political party in power, such would never happen. Not with their garrison mentality. All states are territories that must be conquered, willy-nilly.

APC has won gubernatorial positions under Buhari in Kogi, Ondo and Edo states, (Now losing same Edo again) The victories were fair and square.
The party lost in Bayelsa (twice), Zamfara, Oyo, Anambra etc.
This President would never manipulate victory for anyone, not even his own party.
And you ask us not to trust him?
We will, and no mistake.


God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless Nigeria.

Okoroawusa:

When was the last time I told you that I love you ?

Lol
Just 3 mins ago sir!
All of us @[b][/b] love you too.....
Let's share the love around!
Stay blessed Chairman!

That is one of the things dad will be remembered for in this nation for many many years to come.

Let us read from the comment of one of the sane, honest and hardworking Nairalander we have below...

With Love from our Darling Daddy and all of us @[b][/b] .....

I congratulate Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) — and a member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Committee (PEAC) — on his victory in the Anambra State gubernatorial election.

I commend the security agencies for their determination to ensure that the election went on as smoothly as possible, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful conclusion of the exercise, despite the initial challenges encountered.

I enjoin Prof Soludo to rally other stakeholders to tackle the enormous challenges confronting Anambra State and the Southeast in general.

I look forward to working with him for the peace, security and development of Anambra State and the entire country

And shame to the biggest losers in this election,
Igbos swines and mental animals,
Murderers and killers..

H

Good that Ndiigbo voted for continuity rather than no refeledum no erection. The state rebel (kanu mazi) is in incarceration & will continue to be incarceration while the good people of Anambra enjoy the dividends of democracy in person of Charles Soludo.

Waiting for Joe igbokwe to do the same.

Maybe he is crying more than the bereaved.

Someone should check up on Andy Uba

We have not heard from him since the results were declared

At least we now have a Pain Institute in Anambra, thanks to Dr Maduka

wetin andy uba dey wait 4? Even PMB who is literally d APC leader ve accepted d result while congratulating SOLUDO. Congratulation to d 1st class professor of economics cum governor elect.

Chief Crook is yet to accept. He's heading to Supreme Court.
