Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has pulled out of the 2023 presidential race to retain his ministerial seat.
The former governor of Anambra State and member of the All Progressives Congress made his withdrawal known in a statement on Friday.
In the statement, the minister said that after meeting with the President and consultations with his family members, friends, political associates and constituents, he has decided to pull out of the presidential race.
Ngige’s withdrawal from the APC presidential primary slated for end of May and the 2023 elections next year followed a directive by President Buhari, that all ministers and appointees with political ambitions quit their offices in government.
