The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has described himself as a “prophet” that Igbo people should listen to on the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the minister, who spoke at the Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Office in Awka, Anambra State on Tuesday, Buhari will win the presidential election.
He urged the Igbo to vote massively for Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ignore the “fake” promises being made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former Anambra governor said that supporting Buhari’s second term remained the surest way for an Igbo presidency in 2023.
Ngige said, “I’m a prophet the Igbo should listen to. I said it in 2015 and I am saying it again to Ndigbo that Buhari will win the 2019 presidential election convincingly.
“It will be good and in the interest of the Igbo if we give Buhari another four years. By then, it will be ‘a pass and pass out’ for him instead of giving these sugar-coated PDP deceivers the chance to come and destroy and take this country to the precipice again.
“Those who abandoned the party at the last minute, thinking the party would not win any election would live to regret it.
“We should give President Muhammadu Buhari maximum support in the 2019 general elections that is the only and shortest way to get the presidency for the Igbo.
“Restructuring by the PDP is a proper deceit because the issue of restructuring is a constitutional matter. Nobody can do it unilaterally without recourse to the National Assembly. Restructuring is a broad area.”
