God has already healed me – Dora Akunyili declares

Fears over the health of former Minister of Information and Communications, Dora Akunyili have been somewhat alleviated after she spoke out from India where she is receiving treatment. Dr. Akunyili, also known for her former role as the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, has said that prayers for her healing are being answered. She said: “I am comforted by the fact that prayers are going on for me in churches and mosques as well as in private homes. God is answering the prayers. He has already healed me. I am only waiting for the physical manifestation of the healing. I am grateful to all Nigerians. I look forward to recovering and coming back home to rejoice with you all” This was disclosed by her Media Adviser, Isaac Umunna who issued a statement saying: “I had before now been speaking with her husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, and her brother, Dr. Francis Anayo Edemobi, both of whom are with her in the hospital. The fact that Dora spoke by herself this afternoon confirms earlier reports that she is making appreciable recovery” Dr. Akunyili was fulfilling her duties as a delegate at the ongoing National Conference when she took ill last week and had to be flown out of the country for urgent medical attention. We wish her quick recovery.
