Ngige was quoted to have said:
“We are going to win this election. We have started. We are laying the blocks. We did the foundation. We are putting the blocks on.
"By November 6, you’ll see the house, the roofing and everything that a complete house has been built. We’ll go into the election with seen and unseen forces.”
He said this in Alor, in the Idemili South local government area of Anambra state, during the revalidation of his APC membership.
Legit.ng gathers that Ngige stated this in reaction to Victor Umeh, a former national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) who had said that the minister will lose his ward in the coming election.
Meanwhile, Celestine Okoye, a newly retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), on Wednesday, February 10, registered as a member of the APC in Anambra.
Okoye joined the party at his polling unit of Ward 3, Awka, in the Awka South local government area.
The former police boss is interested in contesting the state's governorship seat on the platform of the APC.
