I Am Fit For National Conference – Prof Dora Akunyili
Category: Nigerian National News
I recently came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me.
I shed much weight from the sickness, but I am well now and only need time to re-grow some flesh.
I thank all my friends for their love and prayers. May Almighty God bless and reward you.
A former Minister of Information and Communications, Prof. Dora
Akunyili, has denied reports that she is critically ill of an unknown
life-threatening ailment, which has kept her bedridden abroad.
In
a post she made on her Facebook page on Tuesday, Akunyili, who was
nominated to represent Anambra State at the ongoing National Conference
in Abuja, said she had since recovered from her illness and had been
declared fit for the conference by her doctors.
She, however, did
not disclose what kind of illness that befell her, but she admitted
that it made her
“shed much weight,” but she needed to “regrow.”
In the post, which was titled, “I am well, fit and ready for the
National Conference,” the former minister said the claims of his
persisting ailment were baseless and unfounded and attributed them to
mischief makers.
The full post 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.
