Ngige, Obiano in war of words over Anambra governorship election

The war-of-words between stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State over the November 6 governorship election in the state has deepened with Labour and Employment Minister Chris Ngige describing Willie Obiano as an “epicurean and governor-do-nothing.”

He said Obiano’s idleness was the primary reason he takes and posts "anyhow pictures” on the internet.

Swiftly, APGA’s National Chairman Victor Oye dubbed Ngige a “jealous” minister and one of the "green-eyed politicians” in the country.

Ngige, at a meeting of APC stakeholders and members of the Registration and Revalidation Committee of the party in Anambra State at the weekend, inferred to a picture on the internet in which Obiano posed with a dog.

He told the stakeholders and committee members that no busy governor would have such leisure take such picture, except the likes of Obiano.

The minister berated Obiano and APGA for what he called "abysmal performance in the state” and vowed that “we will use our broom to sweep him and his party out of Government House.”
