Dora Akunyili Gave Up Her American Citizenship For Nigeria

 

Late Dora Akunyili’s husband, Dr. Chike Akunyili, in his remarks on behalf of her family, extolled his late wife as a patriot who loved her country so much that she gave up her American citizenship.
VANGUARD reported that Dr Akunyili also thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for his support since the demise of his wife.
A grief stricken Dr Akunyili said, "When Dora died, I saw the special FEC session in her honour, that helped me in my grief. When I also had the opportunity to meet the President in his office, he held my hands and comforted me with kind words, saying, “give me any date for Dora, I will be there,” and today he is here.
