Former Minister of Labour and Productivity, Senator Chris Ngige, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Anambra State, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, against using his name or image for political campaigns.
Ngige expressed displeasure over campaign posters featuring his photograph alongside those of Ukachukwu and his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, describing the move as an attempt to mislead the public.
The former Anambra State governor made his position known in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media Affairs, Hyggy Obialo, and released to journalists on Tuesday.
According to Obialo, Ngige is currently on a “sabbatical” from active partisan politics and is taking a well-deserved rest after 25 years in politics and public service.
