Professor Dora Akunyili who was a former minister of Information and
communications during Yar'Adua’s regime has said she’s well, fit and
ready for the National Conference.
Akunyili who was nominated to represent Anambra State at the ongoing
National Conference in Abuja has been ill and indisposed of an unknown
sickness which has kept her bedridden abroad for some while.
Yesterday she updated her Facebook profile with the words, “I am well, fit and ready for the National Conference.”
She describes the claim that she was ill of a life threatening
disease as baseless and unfounded and attributed them to mischief
makers.
The former minister further said that she has recovered from her
illness and had been declared fit for the conference by her doctors
failing however to disclose what kind of illness that befell her.
From her picture here, it’s obvious that she had been critically ill and has lost much weight in the process.
The Full Post on her facebook profile reads:
“My Dear Friends, my attention has been drawn to a story making
the rounds online, claiming that I am seriously sick, currently out of
the country and in need of urgent prayers.
“This story is baseless, unfounded and the handiwork of mischief makers. It should be ignored and discarded in its entirety.
“As every informed Nigerian knows, I am a delegate to the
National Conference currently holding in Abuja. I was duly accredited as
a delegate and I am currently in attendance at the National Judicial
Institute, Abuja, venue of the conference.
“While it is true that I recently came out of a major sickness,
for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me, I have since been
declared fit by my doctors and returned to my normal activities. I shed
much weight in the course of the sickness – which is normal – but I am
well now and only need time to re-grow some flesh.
“There is nothing to worry about either my health or my present stature.
“I know that God has kept me alive for a purpose, this National Conference being part of that purpose.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I am well now, fit, strong enough
and ready for this all-important National Conference and I look forward
to collaborating with other delegates to chart the way for a better
Nigeria.
“I thank all my friends for their love and prayers. May Almighty God bless and reward you.”
