Ngige: I Raised My H and, but Was Told to Put It Down After the President Spoke

At a Night of Tribute event held in honor of the late Audu Ogbeh, former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, recounted a pivotal moment that showed the late statesman’s resolute character and adherence to party rules.

The event, held at the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja, served as a platform for prominent figures to celebrate the life of Ogbeh, who passed away on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at the age of 78.

A video clip of Ngige’s speech, posted by SYMFONI on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has since been widely circulated.

Ngige recalled a heated National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where a debate over the presidential ticket was taking place.

When he attempted to voice his opinion, Ngige said he was told to put down his hand.

Refusing to be silenced, Ngige insisted, “no, we are all equal here.”

It was at this point that Ogbeh, then the party’s National Chairman, intervened, affirming Ngige’s stance.

Ngige, emboldened by Ogbeh’s support, proceeded to read from the party’s constitution, stating unequivocally that the NEC did not have the authority to issue a presidential ticket; that power belonged to the national convention.

He also clarified that automatic tickets for governors were a matter for the state congresses, not the NEC.
