My Wife's Last Wish - Late Dora Akunyili's Husband

Ahead of the burial of her remains on August 28, it has been revealed
that the last wish of the late former Minister of Information and
Communications, Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili, was the release of the
abducted Chibok.

Her husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, made the disclosure while briefing
the media on the burial arrangements of his wife.

His words: "Akunyili's last wish was the release of the abducted girls
at chibok by the insurgent in Borno state and she was particular about
the insecurity ravaging the country".

While announcing the burial arrangement for the late wife on Saturday,
Dr Akunyili announced that the late former Director General of
National Agency for food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC),
would also receive another post-humous award from the United States of
America on November 18, 2014 for pushing Pharmacy to a greater height.

The funereal of late Prof Akunyili, which would hold at Madonna
Catholic Mission at Agulu, Anambra State, will be led by Cardinal John
Onaiyekan.

Dr Akunyili told reporters that though his wife had died, her soul is
still hovering around, adding "my heart is still heavy over her
death".

He said since his wife died, there had been a mass service at Enugu
for her every Friday because she was prayerful.

"What has been happening since she died had been mysterious, we have
never had any problem in everything we have planned", he said.

According to Dr Akunyili, his late wife surrendered her green card for
the love of her country, adding that she did not want disintegration
of Nigeria but wanted a homogenous country.

According to him, "my wife said I will serve Nigeria with the last
drop of my blood and as a result the federal government gave her all
the support in everything she did".
