Murtala Ajaka , Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress ( APC ) , say Chris Ngige , minister of Labour and Employment, should resign if he cannot support Bola Tinubu, the party standard bearer.
Ajaka was reacting to the comments made by Ngige when he appeared on politics Today , a programme on Channels Television.
When asked whether he would endorse Tinubu or back Peter Obi , the flagbearer of the Labour Party, Ngige could not answer the question directly but said , Both of them are my friends . My choice will be in the ballot box. Whether Conscience or no conscience , no that day in February, I will have one vote , he said.
Chief Ngige and other APC Appointees , especially in the Federal cabinet should not forget in hurry that they are holding onto Party s mandate, hence the need to protect it with whatsoever it requires, but if they can no longer protect the interest of the party APC and our presidential candidate ( Tinubu ) , I think the Honourable thing to do is to step aside from the government formed by the APC .
With this type of public comment from a sitting minister in a ruling party who cannot declare on National TV his choice of presidential candidate, how on earth is the party expected to fare in the forthcoming presidential election ?
