In a press statement obtained by SaharaReporters signed by the minister and titled, “Withdrawal of my presidential aspiration”, Ngige said he took the decision after consulting with his constituents and political associates.

The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Nigige, on Friday said he has withdrawn from the 2023 presidential race and he hence remains in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet as a minister.

“Today, May 13, I had an audience with the President, Muhammadu Buhari, as a follow-up to the one I earlier had with him on May 11, 2022. Having also consulted widely with my family, constituents, supporters and well-wishers, it is my pleasure to announce the withdrawal of my interest and earlier decision to contest the office of the President in the 2023 general elections,” he said.

On Wednesday, Buhari had asked all members of the Federal Executive Council contesting elective positions in 2023 to resign.According to the Minister of information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, the order excludes the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo because he is an elected member of the cabinet.

So what will happen to the 100 million? We need that money 💸 for our kinsmen

He knows he will not amount to anything.

He will not deliver even his polling unit let a lone the whole country. It's logical for him to work for the remaining period of the current government.

One year salary for Sapa na your mate?

Step 1. buy form 100M Step 2. Withdraw Step 3. Act like nothing happened 😂 We know the scope before una start am welcome APC

Wisdom. Lol. A bird at hand…

Please how many of them has resigned?

He knows his not going nowhere…

Pretender not contender. Oga I think say you get leaver

Chop what you can see now rather than gambling with the unknown. Simple!

Why won't he withdraw,who will vote for him

He has to go. He has brought more embarrassment to the govt

All the wanted to do is to enrich APC and step back simple

The moment he said he will meet the president for clarification and consult his constituents we knew he just donated 100m to APC.

Remember plan well in Benin City? APC should be investigated. Financial malpractice? Of course. You don't need to be a chartered accountant to understand their game. How did we get her?

everybody is a joke

Mr failure

Smart move!

Fear of the unknown.

Everybody is fear of joblessness including the minister because poverty is not always friendly

dem don dey cut soap o

Afor Anu

Buhari gave him a raise to stay.

The 100million, how far now

Why? He wants regain his 100m and more .

No harm in trials....but take back seat in the next dispensation.

We know dia game plan. The objective was to return the stolen money back to APC inform of ticket

More coming

Narrow escape. Na God save you. By now you for don enter Labour market

This is no news for someone who have failed at winning the governorship seat of his state ever since the Okija shrine with the Uba's stuff. It's winning the primaries for APC was DOA. Congratulations to him at least he made the news and improved his CV.

All those who purchased form to contest for elective positions must go.

Lmao

Wait o, abeg sey they will now give them back the 100m for the form they had paid for? Abeg educate me on this!

Inconsistent

Lily livered, yellow belly chicken

Shameless and gutless!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sharp guy

Invested 100M to collect 1Bili

Where on earth would he have gotten 370 delegates to sign his form.

I am sure he must have sold the ticket to an higher bidder cos I know a typical Igbo man like Chris Ngige will not waste money like that and again he must ve think deeply that he can't win the primary and he kuku ma stay where regular monthly salary is sure

Baba no wan forfeit hin salary for a post wet never sure for am 😂😂😂

100 Million gone

Lol

Ngige Chris is not man enough

He's just making an unnecessary mockery of himself.

He knows he can't go anywhere in Nigerian politics because he has no structure. This is the politics of enriching APC to campaign. We know their gimmicks.

The game is to sell Tinubu or Osibajo even Jonathan will still withdraw

I said it

Hahahahah... Hungry men

Confused set of people😂😂😅

The appointment is very important
