Minister of Labour and Employment Chris Ngige on Tuesday said the late Prince Tony Momoh played a pivotal role in the choice of President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in 2015.
According to Ngige, “his death has brought to an end, a beautiful chapter in defining national ideals”.
A statement from Senator Chris Ngige Media Office said: “While we laid the building blocks of the APC, he chaired one of the Party’s Ad-hoc Committee of Seven Wise Men…
“We were given just an hour but Momoh, painstaking, thorough and meticulous, decided a little otherwise. We spent three hours but answered all the critical questions and cleared all knotty issues; helping our presidential candidate choose an acceptable running mate.”
