Chris Ngige, the Hon. Minister of Labour and Productivity says he won’t resign from his current job as a minister, until he has an audience with the President and his constituents, the Anambra people. This was his reaction to the news that, all public office holders stepped down from their current jobs on or before Monday the 16th of May 2022.
He said:“I have no reaction for now because the President said if anyone wants clarifications, the person should 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.”
The Anambra state former governor had earlier denied knowledge of any order emanating from the ruling All Progressives Congress ordering political appointees interested in contesting elections next year to resign their appointments.
Ngige also said that even if there is any order to that effect, it has not been conveyed to him and that there is a subsisting judgment from competent court of jurisdiction striking down the judgment.
