Ngige Minister of Labor and Employment, Chris Ngige has revealed what will occur should the Peoples Democratic Party select a northerner as its governmental candiadate in 2023.

According to him, the celebration will lose woefully.

Ngige stated this throughout an interview with Vanguard.

The Minister who is a chieftain in APC stated this while reacting to a remark made that PDP may be delaying its discussion of its governmental candidate for the 2023 election so regarding see the candidate the APC would field. The reporter had pointed out that there are speculations that the PDP may field a Northern candidate if APC fields a Southern prospect.

Reacting, Ngige averred that citizens are wiser now and that the Northern electorates will wonder what the Northern leaders have provided for them throughout the years.

” The PDP top apparatchik believe they are smart. They want to play a quick one. They are waiting for APC to say ‘South.’ Their computation is that when that happens, they will go North. Top, that will be an act of bad faith because it will mean that they have actually taken individuals in the South-South and South-East that have actually the whole time supported PDP 90 percent in all the elections, for a flight.

In the 2011 election, I was the only opposition candidate in the previous Eastern area that won election. I was the only one among the whole three senators per state, in the five states of the South-East and six South-South states, other than Edo where we had Uzamere and Domingo Obende. Those who later on became APC were those who cross-carpeted after the success of APC, like Senator Magnus Abe and others.

For PDP to say they are waiting on APC, they are playing games. It’s going to be a pricey venture for them since throughout election, it is like a dry spell game. You anticipate the opponent to see the seed he wishes to play next. That seed of PDP of going North will backfire. They much better line up with APC and if APC comes South let them come South. It ends up being an all South affair.

If they go North, I can inform them that as it is today, they will lose the governmental election, no matter the candidate they bring from the North. The South-Easterners will feel that they have actually been used and disposed. The South-Southerners will feel that they have actually been used and discarded. The South-Westerners will feel it is the turn of South as the Southern guvs stated.

In the North-Central, there is a minority compassion in the Middle-belt. There is likewise minority sympathy in North-East. Those who are doing the computation to go North and bring a million votes will be disappointed because even those citizens, you think will be doing North for North, Muslim for Muslim, will not go with you. The citizens are wiser. What has past Northern leaders done? Did they do things for the North like Ahmadu Bello did? Did they do things for them like Tafawa Balewa? Did they do things for them like Aminu Kano? The response is no. So, if the PDP makes that error, they will have a serious beating more than they received from Buhari.
