Akunyili Speaks On 'yaradua's Step Down' Memo by bobosunny: 2:57am On Feb 04, 2010
Akunyili, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, confirmed that she, indeed, tabled a memo on the President’s health to the council.

She, however, declined to discuss the details of the memo or the motive behind her action.

Akunyili said, “Yes, I presented the memo to the council. Somebody must have called and told you that. I presented the memo.”

Asked the content of the memo, she replied, “I will not be able to discuss the content now. It was read but not debated and subsequently withdrawn. That means it was not taken. So, I can’t discuss the details with you now.”

On whether it meant that the memo would be taken at the next meeting, she stated, “I will represent it because I stand by whatever I said in the memo.”

Our correspondents gathered that immediately after Akunyili’s memo was read and rejected at FEC, tempers rose as a good number of ministers, led by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa, shouted her down.

A source disclosed that Pro Jonathan ministers were so shocked by the fiery reaction of the Pro Yar’Adua ministers, although a few latter met with Akunyili to congratulate her for her courage.

Evidence that Akunyili might have disagreed with the Council’s resolution on January 27 had shown in her appearance in the front page photograph of many newspapers, Aondoakaa, addressed the press on the decision taken on Yar’Adua.

The pretty-looking 55-year-old Akunyili wore a weary look and appeared evidently bothered.

I think it's high time Aondoakaa get's cut down to size.
