The former president said the death of Akunyili could best be described as the passage of “one of the jewels in the glamour of my administration. I am shocked because she could not survive the illness. It is a great loss to a country, which is in need of men and women of Dora Akunyili’s high integrity, industry, patriotism and honesty.
Akunyili was a workaholic member of my administration. I sincerely appreciated her service. She was there; everywhere to fight the fake drug war”.
