“Make Chris Uba Deputy Or Leave” — Ngige Reveals Ultimatum That Led To His 2006 Removal As Anambra Governor

Former Governor of Anambra State, Senator Chris Ngige, has claimed that his removal from office in 2006 was due to his refusal to appoint prominent political figure and powerbroker in the state, Chris Uba, as his deputy governor.

Ngige, who also served as Minister of Labour and Employment under the administration of the late President Buhari, affirmed that he remains a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), although currently on sabbatical.

He also explained his controversial decision to recruit individuals described as “bad boys” during his tenure as governor.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Ngige said he had no regrets about his removal, describing the events as divinely orchestrated.
