Minister for Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, Tuesday said the commissioning of the Second Niger Bridge and the construction of capital projects by the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari has vindicated some of them for their choice of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He urged the Igbo to stop playing politics of exclusion and putting their eggs in one basket at every political dispensation.

“The first Niger Bridge was constructed in 1965 under the regime of Tafawa Belewa and that was when our brother, the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was president and that is the product of that political alliance.

“During the war, some portions of the bridge were blown up with mines in order to stop the federal troops from crossing over and after the war a second bridge became imperative.

“When I was here as governor, the then president sent some contractors and said that the bridge would be built and that was in 2005. But this man (Buhari) we brought him here for campaign and I told the people of the South East that this man would construct the second Niger Bridge and rebuild Enugu Airport. We did not believe it but he did it.”

Ngige added, “We played bad politics in 2015 and in 2019 yet the APC government brought infrastructure to the South East like the Enugu-Port Harcourt Road, Enugu-Abakaliki Road and the Federal Secretariat.

“All of us should not be in one political party, some would be here and some would be there and if some people are not in the same party with you, don’t call them saboteurs because Late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and even Dr Micheal Okpara did the same thing and we must come back to that old political culture that we left for long.”

Smh.
He cunningly avoided his own bad politics of not supporting Asiwaju Tinubu in 2023 and rigging massively against APC in his Igboland. What he is doing is hypocrisy.

It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought him, HE Ngige, into the political alliance he is flaunting today yet he worked against and betrayed Asiwaju Tinubu.

Ngige the big monkey. Who is playing bad politics if not you and your fellow efulefu so called Igbos leaders? Nobody cares about you guys.

All we care is the seasoned responsible man in Peter Obi which we presented to Nigeria and they came together to vote him. He won and was denied victory by INEC and the power that be which you and your fellow useless Igbo leaders belong. You guys are afraid of the personality that he presents. The very personality that will threaten your evil looting.
But we are so happy about his candidancy. He has asked to be verified and all of you failed to verify any evil against him. We Igbos are very proud to present such a man at a time you can barely have such around Nigeria.

It gives us joy that we have shown that we are a people that goes with integrity. This is despite some people comfortably backing a drug lord.
We are a sophisticated and complexly unique people who would rather die standing with righteousness than the unrighteous. It really makes us proud.

I will rather lose doing the right than win doing the wrong thing.. Peter Obi

For you to be called the excellency, the procedure that produces you must be excellent Peter Obi

👏👏👏👏

Ngige is part of APC, and he is telling Igbo people not to put their eggs in one basket. Is he not part of the Igbo eggs in APC?

Second Niger bridge is for Nigerians, not for Igbo people only.
The cost of materials most Igbo people use went up because 216 naira to a dollar is 780 naira today. Small bridge can't hide the fact that Buhari destroyed the economy.

Democracy is about choice not putting eggs in different baskets. Stop blackmailing people over their choices.

Today's FEC valedictory service is his last day as a Federal Minister for the next 8 years because Asiwaju Tinubu will not retain him or give him the Anambra state Ministerial slot.
