ngige 1A mild drama occurred on Friday day at the premises of St Anthony Anglican Church, Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area, Anambra State when the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Chris Ngige jokingly told the candidate of the Labour Party, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah that he will defeat him in the election.

Both candidates were at Igboukwu for the burial of Mrs Lucy Ogudebe, the mother of a member of the House of Representatives, Hon Uche Ekwunife, when Ngige on sighting Ubah walked up to him to exchange pleasantries.

Ngige’s action took his supporters, Ubah, and his supporters by surprise.

Ngige threw a joke at Ubah when he asked Ubah if he could tell between both of them who would win the election.

According to a source, “Ngige spoke with Ubah in Igbo language saying, ‘Nwokem, (my man), I just keep seeing you everywhere. Is it you or I that will win this election? Anyway, I know I will beat you”.

The source continued that Ubah quickly adjusted to Ngige’s joke and replied that he would be the one to win.

Supporters of both men who witnessed the drama were very happy to see their principals exchanging pleasantries as it was believed that everyone in the race was an enemy to the other.
