In the past few months, there have been rumours and counter rumours on
the true state of health of former Minister of Information and Communications, Prof.Dora
Akunyili.
Several reports had it that Akunyili was struck by a life threatening
ailment.
The reports further stated that the former DG of NAFDAC is bedridden and
that all hope is lost on her recovery.
In our characteristics manner,CKN Nigeria decided to reach out to Prof.Akunyili
who is a delegate to the National Conference going on in Abuja.
This is her reply to our inquiry on her state of health.
I AM WELL, FIT AND
READY FOR THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
—PROF. AKUNYILI
Thank you for your
enquiry. There is a saying in Igboland that goes this way: “Let the sickness
take the flesh but leave the bones because with time the bones would grow new
flesh.”
I just came out of
a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me. I know that
God did that for a purpose, this National Conference being part of that
purpose. I am well now but only need time to put on more weight. However, I am
strong enough for this Conference and I look forward to collaborating with other
delegates to chart the way for a better Nigeria.
Thank you.
National Conference Delegate
Fmr Minister of Information & Communications
Abuja, March 24, 2014
