The NDDC MD told newsmen that he had a mysterious and unpredictable health challenge that led to the scenario.
“I had an unexplained, unexpected health challenge. It is ridiculous to think that people believed I was acting”, the MD said.
I would not pray for anyone to experience what I went through. I do not run from issues. I have put all that behind me”.
It was reported that Pondei slumped while taking questions from the members of the House of Reps committee.
He had appeared alongside the Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio to answer questions on issues bordering on financial misconduct in the commission.
