– Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment, had accused Nigerians complaining of hardship in the present administration of being PDP loyalists
– Senator Ben Bruce wondered how the minister can make such statements
– Nigerians blasted Ngige for his insensitivity
Ben Btuce wondered how a minister can make such statements.
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce representing Bayelsa East senatorial constituency in the National Assembly has reacted to a statement made by Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment.
In a recent interview Ngige has taken a swipe at Nigerians for complaining of hardship under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
“I don’t know what you mean by hardship and those you call Nigerians. Are they the federal civil servants getting their monthly salaries as and when due? We don’t owe them, not even allowances and there is no reason they should be unhappy with the APC government,” he said.
According to the minister, those people who are complaining are members or supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Those complaining especially the elite are members or loyalists of the PDP. We are not bothered because we are going to continue with our common-people’s programme and I want to assure that the tide will soon change,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nigerians blasted the minister for his insensitivity and noted that the country has no hope, if governmental officials make such statements.
Some people even advised Buhari’s ministers to stop talking as every word from them sounds provocative.
@benmurraybruce @PdpNigeria He was so wrong to have made such comment. I just feel bad that everything in Nigeria keeps getting worse.

@benmurraybruce @PdpNigeria Maybe APC loyalists are being secretly “settled”, have different markets while the rest of us are left out.

@benmurraybruce @PdpNigeria should we be smiling while suffering pretending all is well instead of tackling the hardship?
