It is not true that the Buhari administration was a failure — Ngige

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

Addressing journalists on Saturday, January 7, in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, while distributing palliatives to indigenes from the 21 local government areas of the state, Ngige 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 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 members 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.”
