My attention has been drawn to the
rumour circulating on social media claiming that immediate past Minister of
Information and Communications, Prof. Dora Akunyili, is dead. I have also
received several enquiries in this regard.
This rumour is not only baseless but
also the height of wickedness. I spoke with Dora’s husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili,
and her brother, Dr. Francis Anayo Edemobi, both of whom are with her in the
hospital, and they both assured me that she is responding to treatment. The
conversation took place from 2:20 this afternoon and lasted for some minutes.
As I said in an earlier statement
issued on Wednesday evening, Prof. Akunyili fell sick over the weekend and was
first attended to by doctors in Abuja but had to travel to India on Sunday on
their advice for further medical attention. She is grateful to Nigerians for
their prayers and remains confident that Almighty God will hear our prayers and
grant her quick recovery.
The public is advised to disregard any
rumours or reports to the contrary. Those engaged in spreading this satanic
rumour should desist. What Prof. Akunyili needs at this time is not prophesies
of doom or alarming false reports about her health condition but continued
prayers and best wishes.
May G̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴͡D̶̲̥̅̊ grant her quick recovery in Jesus name
ReplyDeleteApparently somebody wants her dead. I wonder why, anyway.
