Former Minister of Information and Communications, Professor Dora Akunyili has denied reports that she was seriously sick and currently out of the country and in need of urgent prayers.
Professor Akunyili in a statement on tuesday said: "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.
