2023: Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige Reacts to Buhari’s Order to Resign

 

Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has revealed his stance after President Muhamadu Buhari ordered all ministers vying for any elective office in 2023 to resign.

 

Recall that President Buhari, at the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting on Wednesday told cabinet members who have declared their presidential ambition to resign before Monday 16th of May.

 

Reacting, Ngige said he is not in a hurry to resign from his appointment and that he has to consult with President Muhamadu Buhari and his constituents before tendering any resignation letter.

 

According to him, Buhari gave a window for those that need clarifications on his pronouncement to meet him.

“So I have to consult him and consult my constituents, Anambra state because I am holding the office for the government and my constituents,” Vanguard quoted him as saying.
