Labor and Employment Minister Chris Ngige has urged warring members of the Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to sheathe their sword.
In a statement from Senator Ngige Media Office in Abuja on Monday, the minister who is the party’s leader in the state advised the beleaguered interim state party chairman Basil Ejidike not to “invent a Trojan horse, but look to the inside and administer the self-inflicted Tear in the State Labor and Exco Party Committee that has seen many members suffer a hemorrhage. “
“The Honorable Minister of Labor and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has been inundated with calls from his home state about the unfortunate development in the State Chapter of our great party, APC, which culminated in the suspension of the Interim State President.
“All of this is a consequence of the robbery of June 26, 2021 in which, although primary elections were not held, the interim president, in concert with some people who did not want the best for our state chapter, announced some fictitious figures assigned for each of the thirteen applicants and declared winner. The situation simmered, rotted, and resulted in the loss of the gubernatorial election. The Honorable Minister had watched these developments with disbelief and dismay because this is not the style of the original APC members in Anambra State over the years!
“Nigerians are aware of the Federal Government’s relentless post-COVID-19 efforts to stabilize the work environment and boost national productivity, hence the Honorable Minister of Labor and Employment is faced with very tight schedules on a daily basis, to stop Think about the post-election intrigues in your state chapter of the party.
“Despite that, Senator Ngige wishes to assure all members that the disputed issues will soon be dismissed, as critical party state stakeholders in the state will work toward resolution shortly.
“However, while we do this, the embattled interim state president, Basil Ejidike, is advised to focus on the rift he has made in the State Labor Committee and work towards a resolution by first telling the truth to himself. . Creating a phantom Trojan horse to explain self-inflicted injuries is thoughtless.
“Once again I urge all members to refrain from acts that may cause further damage to the party and to look inward to make up for our losses. The party lives beyond the November 6 gubernatorial election. We have other tasks ahead of us of an even greater magnitude with enormous benefits as we approach the general election of 2023. “
