Nigerians have expressed doubts over the health status of acting MD of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Kemebradikumo Pondei, who fainted while being interrogated on Monday.
Odunews.com reports that the Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Kemebradikumo Pondei slumped while taking questions from the members of the Niger Delta Committee on Monday.
He had appeared alongside the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio on Monday.
Pondei was immediately rushed to the hospital and the hearing adjourned for 30 minutes.
Nigerians however believe the acting NDDC head was pretending and had no serious health issues.

Inasmuch as we pity the acting MD of NDDC in his battle with his failing health, he should before long return all the monies he stole from NDDC.
Whether it's acting or not, it's not a major concern,but the monies he spent without budget must be accounted for.

When they said "Acting MD" of the NDDC, I honestly didn't expect that it would literally be an acting MD. Dude deserves an award. Wow!

Acting MD of NDDC faints after they asked him questions regarding how a said amount of money was spent.
This man certainly bought past questions from Senator Dino and Governor Fayose.

Kemebradikumo Pondei, acting MD of NDDC, fainted during today's hearing at the National Assembly.
Nigerian public officials only faint or become sick during public hearings, police arrests and court trials on their financial dealings.
Any other time, they're as fit as a fiddle.
