The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has denies
reports that he collapsed while briefing the House of Representatives
during budget defence. The minister, who said he was in South Africa en route to
Nigeria today, described the rumour as a ruse and an attempt by
politicians to malign his ability and personality.
He said
“It’s laughable, and a failed cannon targeted at me by never -do- well politicians for selfish interest.
“I am not in Nigeria, I attended special morning function in Zambia and I’m airborne to South Africa where I will be coming into the country tomorrow, the rumours on the social media and other quarters have to show how petty people can be.
“I don’t see it as anything but I wish to tell those who still play this outdated and obsolete politics of bitterness to embrace change and know that it is no longer business as usual.
“The rumour has shown that I’m a great person. The late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe experienced such dangerous rumour. Those who peddle such rumour in history most often visit there before long.”
He
expressed confidence in President Buhari’s administration to rid the
country of corrupt leaders and maintained that his ministry shall
continue to play the complimentary role of promoting good governance in
the country.
