Former
Minister of Information, Prof. Dora Akunyili, on Tuesday, reappeared at
the venue of the ongoing National Conference with a declaration that
the confab was President Goodluck Jonathan’s most courageous act.
In her
contribution during the discussion on the inaugural speech of the
President, Akunyili said the conference was Jonathan’s gift to the
country.
Akunyili said,
“I want to start by congratulating Mr. President for having the courage
to convene the National Conference; Nigerians have for long clamoured
for this National Conference. I regard this National Conference as
President Jonathan’s best Centenary gift to Nigeria; it is a testimony
of the fact that he is a listening President.
“Mr.
President’s speech oozes of humility, modesty, patriotism and a deep
concern for the present and future of this beautiful country. Jonathan
in his maiden Confab address also admitted that ‘sovereignty belongs to
the people’ and that those in leadership position are only holding power
in trust for the people.”
There have been
reports that the ex-Director-General of the National Agency for Food,
Drugs, Administration and Control was suffering from an undisclosed
illness.
