Although the name of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige’s name was on the ballot paper, he had stressed before the election that he wasn’t a candidate.
Meanwhile, Labour Minister, Chris Ngige, who was listed as the All Progressives Congress’ candidate for the election has said he was not participating in it. This effectively means the APC fielded no candidate for the election.
