The Minister of Labor and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been criticized by Reno Omokri over his 2023 presidential ambition.
Ngige has assured that the people of Nigeria will see the benefits of democracy within two years if he is elected President in 2023.
The minister recently announced his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Condemning Ngige, Reno Omokri, a former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, said it was unlikely he would fire the long-serving minister in Buhari’s cabinet.
On Twitter, Omokri lamented that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, teachers, and doctors had gone on strike during Ngige’s tenure as minister.
According to Omokri: “Ngige said if he becomes President, Nigeria will feel his impact in just 2 years. For 7 years, Ngige has been Nigeria’s longest-serving labour minister. And we have seen his impact. ASUU on strike. Doctors on strike. Teachers on strike. May thunder not strike Ngige.”
