During the Workers’ Day celebration held at the Eagle Square in Abuja on Monday, May 01, 2023, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, jokingly asked Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), to go to the field and look for votes.
In a light-hearted exchange, Ngige and Obi met during the event, where the Labor Minister urged Obi to leave the Labour Day celebrations and focus on campaigning for votes.
“Leave us to do our Labour Day here oo, go to the field and look for votes,” Ngige said.
Obi responded in his usual calm and composed manner, calling Ngige his "senior brother."
Ngige then offered Obi a seat and quickly brought out a face cap, placing it on the LP candidate's head.
