Presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, has chosen former Anambra governor, Chris Ngige, as his running mate.
Saharareporters learns that Mr. Ribadu chose the former governor after considering a list of possible running mates that included former senate president, Ken Nnamani, and former governor of Ebonyi state, Sam Egwu.
Ngige, a medical doctor by profession came to national prominence when he battled his erstwhile godfather Chris Uba as well as former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Dr. Ngige was governor of Anambra state from 2003-2006 when he was removed by a panel of the appeal court following a petition by Peter Obi of APGA
A source close to the Ribadu campaign told Saharareporters that, in the course of their extensive consultation, they found out that Dr. Ngige has the largest popular appeal of any politician from the South Eastern zone.
