The minister was said to have been rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Abuja after passing out.
"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other quarters shows how petty people can be, I don’t see it as anything but I wish to tell those who still play this outdated and obsolete politics of bitterness to embrace change and know that it is no longer business as usual” Ngige added.
