Nigeria’s minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption battle.

The former Senator of the federal republic, told Naij.com exclusively during an interview, that the president’s war against corruption is one which is necessary in order to sanitise the nation and help everyone live in the country.

Ngige who spoke at the occasion of his father’s burial in Alor, Anambra state, noted that, “We thank God, our father had a beautiful outing today. Nigerians from all walks of life came around to wish us well.”

On what he would miss about his late dad, Senator Ngige said: “His counsel, that’s what I will miss the most about him.”


On how he feels with the president’s proposed visit tomorrow, he said: “Provisionally, Mr president has promised to be here tomorrow to condole with the family members.

“It is very kind of president, he wants to show the Igbos too that he never hated them as people are insinuating. It was all propaganda.”

And on the issue of the president’s war against corruption, the minister went all out in support of the anti-graft policing.

“It is necessary, if we are to continue to be a country, to survive as a country because corruption has already killed Nigeria.

“It is like a parasite which has almost sucked the blood of Nigeria. It’s a blood-sucking parasite and there must be an end to it,” he stated.
