Food and Drug Administration and Control and ex-Minister of Information, Dora Akunyili, was to be flown abroad for medical treatment on Saturday.
Akunyili, a delegate at the ongoing National Conference had said she was recovering from a life-threatening ailment.
It was gathered around 9p.m on Saturday night that Akunyili's condition had deteriorated and any further delay in getting medical attention would have been detrimental.
Confirming the incident, one of her close aides who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that, "Please pray for her. She is to be flown abroad tonight for medical treatment in India."
Many were surprised when Akunnyili made an appearance at the confab looking frail. Responding to comments about her health, she said, "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.
"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." Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

May God heal you madam Dora.
ReplyDeleteMay you be healed in JESUS NAME Amen
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad story for those that wish Nigeria well. Here is sombody that endangered her life for well being of Nigerians while fighting those heartless drug barons.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray Almighty God safe her life.
Though she later find herself in a differnt and dirty world of politics when she was made Minister of Information, I still appreciate her withdrawal from the game of corruption.
I wished she kept fighting for better health services in Nigerian inside NAFDAC. Thousands of our medical consultants not to talk of world class brains in the medical fields who were chased out by bad leadership controlling our affairs in Nigeria.
Dora Akunyili, I join the great number of Nigerians that God saved their lives through the efforts given to you by Him to pray for you.
May the Almighty Allah help and relieve this true daughter if ours from her ailment,
ReplyDeleteMummy it. Is well with ur soul
ReplyDeleteGod is in control, madam Dora, pls dnt talk to the evil people again, even through the media, dnt give them opportunity to monitor your health progress, many of them want you dead but instead they will die in ur place in the name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth.

ReplyDeleteWhy indiia
ReplyDeleteLovly mum,GOD have healed u.they d@ wanted 2 die,they wil all die.GOD fight 4 u & wil hv ur peace ok.we love u.
ReplyDeleteGod is not in control of anything. For how much longer are we Africans going to be believing in this nonsense. We have prayed tired, we have worshipped tired. Nothing has changed and nothing will change until we discard this myth and start working.
ReplyDeleteThere is time to be ill and time to get well. God, in His infinite mercies shall see you through these terrible times in Jesus name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteSavior of the masses, get well soon!
ReplyDeletewish her quickest recovery
ReplyDeleteMay God who is the greatest physician heal u in Jesus name. Amen
ReplyDeleteThe God that saw you through in those turbulent years in NAFDAC is still alife. Therefore you shall not die.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is the type of comment your God approves of you? What religion is that?
ReplyDeleteIt is normal to be zealous and also exhibit a little eccentricity. However, removing the place of God in anything is dangerous & damming. How do you work if you can't find directions? Don't be stupid my dear; that life isn't yours & a day of reckoning awaits you.
ReplyDeletePut your eccentricity aside and wish the woman well and possibly such a solution if you want to act "god".
God bless you Dora. Make sure you ask for God's mercy at this time. I know He will bring you back to full health and better life of fulfilment.
Mrs. Dora, May the healing virtue in the blood of Jesus Christ flows into your system wherever you are right now to heal you and quickens your mortal body. By his blood and stripes you are healed in Jesus name. May the good Lord remember your good deeds in this land of the living - especially in Nigeria and spare your life, redeem you from claws of sickness and death in Jesus name so that your enemies and the enemy of this nation will not rejoice over you and your loved ones in Jesus name. Madam, it is well, victory is yours in Jesus name. Amen.
