Buhari’s administration was not a failure — Chris Ngige

The immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has said the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was not a failure.

Ngige stated these in an interview with journalists on Saturday, in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, while distributing palliatives to indigenes from the 21 local government areas of the state.

The former governor of Anambra State listed the completion of the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programmes, and Enugu Airport, among others, as some of the projects carried out by the last administration.

He explained that his faction remains the authentic APC in Anambra, insisting that there was no crisis in the party.

He said, “It is not true that the Buhari administration was a failure. I was part of the government and the administration completed a lot of projects. They include the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programme and numerous railways across the country.

“There is APC one and two in Anambra State. I won’t deny that fact. I am the father of APC here. I am the face of APC in Anambra State and I know for certain that we have newcomers who have been coming since the year 2021

“And because the party is like a church, you don’t stop people from entering a church to seek salvation. So also you can’t stop people from entering a party to support the government in power.

“We allow everybody. But there is a segregation already because the new members don’t want to reckon with the old members.

“THe old member laboured for the party from the time we were SDP to ACD, AC to ACN and then finally liberated as APC when we collapsed with NNPP and CPC. These are facts, and I don’t like denying things are facts.”
