Buhari not a failure – Ngige lists completed projects by past govt

Former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, on Saturday faulted claims that the immediate past administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari was a failure.

Ngige said Buhari’s administration carried out some remarkable projects like completing the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programmes, Enugu Airport, among others.

He spoke while addressing journalists in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The former minister also lamented the rationalization of APC in Anambra State.

According to Ngige: “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, including 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 government in power.”
