Below is a press release by Mr. Peter Obi published on
Late Akunyili's Facebook page
PROF. (MRS.)
DORA AKUNYILI IS DEAD
On behalf of the Akunyili's family, I wish to
officially confirm the death of Prof. (Mrs.) Dora Nkem Akunyili, OFR, in a
Specialist Cancer Hospital in India this morning at 10 am, Nigerian Time, after
a two-year battle with cancer.
In spite her illness, Prof. Akunyili was unwavering in her belief in a better Nigeria. That was why she defied her condition and was part of Anambra State Handover Committee and the National Conference.
The last time I visited her in India, even when she
needed all the prayers herself, she was full of concern for the abducted Chibok
girls, security and other challenges facing the country and told me that she
remained prayerful for the release of those girls and for God to help President
Goodluck Jonathan to overcome all the challenges facing the Nation. She
therefore urged all Nigerians to remain prayerful and committed to building a
better society for our children. We all prayed together and I promised to be
visiting her every month.
We thank all those who remain fervent in prayers for
her recovery and urge them to remain prayerful for the peaceful repose of her
soul.
Mr. Peter Obi, CON
