The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige,
has refuted reports that he collapsed on the floor of the House of
Representatives during budget defence.
Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, 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still play this outdated and obsolete politics of bitterness to embrace change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.
