Labour and employment minister, Chris Ngige has denied earlier reports that he collapsed on the floor of the House of Representatives during a budget defence session.

The Nation reports that the minister described the story which trended on social media as a ruse and failed attempt by politicians to malign his ability and personality.

Ngige who spoke to the newspaper aboard an aircraft from South Africa described the rumours of his collapse as laughable and a failed cannon targeted at him by never do well politicians for selfish interest.

He said: “I am not in Nigeria, I attended special morning session function in Zambia and am airborne to South Africa where I will be coming into the country tomorrow.

“The rumours in social media and other quarters shows 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 I don’t see it as anything but I wish to tell those who still play this outdated and obsolete politics of bitterness to embrace change and know that it is no longer business as usual”

He expressed implicit confidence in President Buhari’s administration’s resolve to weed the country of corrupt leaders who have retarded development in the past.

He reiterated that his ministry shall continue to play the complimentary role of promoting good governance in the country.
