Former Minister of Information,
Professor Dora Akunyili has dispelled her death rumour.
The blogsphere was awash on Friday
with the news that the former NAFDAC boss passed away in an Indian hospital
after a protracted battle with heart-related ailment.
The Anambra-born politician took to
her Facebook page, through Isaac Umunna, her Media Adviser, stating that she
was alive.
Her post reads,” “please disregard
the rumour about Prof. Dora Akunyili’s purported death. It’s the same baseless
rumour circulated every 2/3 days by some people for reasons best known to them.
They have been at this for about 4 weeks now and are likely to continue, since
they apparently derive pleasure from doing so. The situation, as confirmed by
former Anambra Governor Peter Obi, who visited Dora in the hospital earlier
this week, is that she is getting better. Thank you all. ”
