The ex- NAFDAC DG is back in the country recuperating, after she battled an undisclosed ailment that almost claimed her life. She attended the on-going National conference and also used the opportunity to speak about her health.  

“I just need to put on some weight. There is a saying in Igboland that goes this way: “Let the sickness take the flesh but leave the bones because with time the bones would grow new flesh. I just came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me. I know that God did that for a purpose, this National Conference being part of that purpose. I am well now but only need time to put on more weight"  

Wow, thank God for keeping her alive. her bones will sure grow some flesh in due time. She looks like she is not the same person.
