	Chris Ngige: The hero of the Fourth Republic
		Chris Ngige was reported to have another shock of his life when his convoy was involved in a ghastly motor accident along Adazi Ani-Nnobi-Nnewi road; the Governor escaped narrowly.
		Ngige was a sinner of a sort but later became a saint of a kind in a country whose tradition is rooted in the maintenance of old and archaic status quo.
		Chris Ngige may not have built bridges, constructed major roads, provided many other social amenities, but he had secured the basis of democracy and had through a point of departure ignited the essential ethics and ethos of democratic succour.

		That Governor Chris Ngige is the biggest beneficiary of sentiments in this current political dispensation is not in doubt.
		Ngige's super brat image also lends itself to his recent bragging all over the place that the Presidency does not have the capacity to remove him even though they have been planning to do so.
		Ngige said that Uba was the key for the destabilisation of the Ekwueme Presidential Project.

	Chris Uba: A govâs godfather finally subdued? - OnlineNigeria.com
		Addressing outraged members of the public, Ngige attributed his botched abduction to his refusal to cooperate with those who were bent on diverting the state funds to their personal uses.
		Shortly after Ngige regained his freedom, he addressed an anxious public most of whom were civil servants who had come to pledge solidarity to the governor.

	A YEAR AFTER NGIGE: The dealer who exposed the President and the PDP
		In picking Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige for Governor, Ubah considered his lack of charisma, political base and his perceived servile disposition to be a great advantage to him in view of the structure of power he envisioned.
		Ngige himself ordered the seated crowd of eminent persons to rise at Ubah’s arrival, eulogising him for his role in bringing about a new dispensation in the state.
		Governor Ngige, now obviously fighting back, disappeared from public glare and made himself unavailable for the IGP to remove, and resurfaced on Wednesday, January 7, 2004, to address a horde of his supporters at the premises of the government house, Awka.

		Ngige had earlier alleged that his opponents were planning to cause enough chaos in the state to warrant an imposition of emergency rule by the Federal Government.
		Many Nigerians took Ngige’s view, vilifying Uba and the PDP national leadership, where the self-declared godfather seemed to be drawing inspiration, as felons bent on inciting turmoil in Anambra State to establish a prima facie case of emergency as justification for ousting the governor.
		Ngige’s offence was widely believed to be his failure to use state funds to honour a dubious reimbursement plan meant as payback to Uba for his alleged financial investment to put in office Ngige and virtually every elected public officer from the state.

	Ngige at the Last Bus Stop
		Chris Ngige, on the other hand was just an unpopular Physician, but charismatic and electable but need to be bankroll to become governor.
		If the Ngige’s of Anambra were made to be governors by the Chris Mba, the Kure’s of Niger State can be said to be made governors by the influence of the IBB’s while the Boni’s of Adamawa cannot be isolated from the sway of the Atiku’s to become.
		Ngige most not to be hoodwinked by the impetus of sympathy from his colleagues (Governors) and general public.

		"That in the last peace meeting, Dr. Chris Ngige was asked why he has been delaying the implementation of the Owerri Peace Accord, he replied that the delay stemmed from the fact that members of the Anambra State House of Assembly were on break and that he could not recall them soon enough.
		The statement said that contrary to Uba's allegations that the appointment of the deputy governor and the recent ruling of an Awka High Court nullifying Ngige's purported resignation breached the Owerri accord, it was Uba who was yet to commence the implementation of his own part of the accord.
		Noting that at no time did Ngige rush the appointment of Ugochukwu Nwankwo as his deputy, the statement said the appointment came a month after the Oweeri accord was signed.

	The Ngige Legacies
		The Ngige Administration has since May 29, 2003, when it came into office not only promised to make workers' welfare its priority; but has gone ahead to ensure that their salaries and allowances are paid as and when due aside from other numerous programmes initiated to prepare civil servants and teachers for the challenges ahead.
		The Administration of Dr. Chris Ngige inherited a backlog of about N2.4 billion salary arrears from the Mbadinuju Administration aside arrears to Local Government employees of about N3.5 billion magnitude and which it has started clearing, and the remainder of which will be cleared soon.
		The Governor Ngige Administration has been able to do these not because it is getting more funds from the various revenue sources but because of prudent management of resources and blocking of all leakage through which billions of Naira of public funds had been looted.

	________________________________________________________________
		However, sources very familiar with the Ngige/ Uba political machine informed Sunday Vanguard that one of the reasons Uba did not really push aggressively to have Ngige removed from the ticket was because he had already secured a signed resignation letter from Ngige in the event that he found his conduct ‘unsatisfactory’.
		Ngige’s attempt to show some independence with the appointment of a chief of staff was resisted by Uba.
		Ngige was said to have informed him that it was not possible.

	Amana Online
		Sound minds may recall that both Chris Ngige and Anambra State house of Assembly have been in the vanguard of rubbishing the police as an institution after July 10, 2003 intra-party crisis of which the morally unstable Assembly claimed they got receipt of Chris Ngige’s resignation letter.
		In fact, it was believed that the petition was meant to generate bad blood in the commission and forestall the appointment of the current commissioner, in line with the wish of Governor Chris Ngige and his confederates in the commission.
		Felix Ogbuadu, and other senior police officers, over their role in November10, mayhem; it is near obvious that the entertainment of petitions from Chris Ngige and Anambra State house of Assembly, by PSC against John Abee, may not be in good faith, and should be discontinued in the interest of cohesion of Nigerian Police.

		Chief Chris Uba says, indeed, he did everything possible to put Dr. Chris Ngige in power in Anambra, including manipulating figures, and playing to the hilt the Machiavellian principle of the end justifying the means.
		Obasanjo says Uba and Ngige confessed to him that Anambra polls were rigged, and for which the two men got kicked out of Aso Villa.
		Really, Ngige who has fought back gamely in the past one year to assert himself as governor may yet have the greatest battle of his life ahead.

	BNW : Biafra Nigeria World Message Board: the Voice of a New Generation: Anambra Governor Abducted
		The bone of contention is that Governor Ngige was said to have yesterday "tendered" his letter of resignation citing events in the state and advise from friends and family as his reasons.
		Ngige alleged that his problem with Uba started when he refused to accede to his request to sign a cheque for N3billion which he claimed was campaign expenses incurred to get the governor elected.
		Ngige should hurriedly loot whatever he can lay his hands on and run to Texas where there is a safe habour for igbo thieves, vagabonds and fugitives.
