Sen Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, described himself as everything Nigerians wish a new president would embody. In a statement from his media office on Thursday, Ngige said he was well qualified to contest for the office of the President and that he owed no apology to anyone for entering the race. He said, “I am a presidential aspirant. There is no apologies about that. I have capacity and my wealth of experience is there. I have twice been minister of the most difficult ministry in Nigeria. I have the brain. I am compassionate.”
