Former Minister of Information, Professor Dora Akunyili will be buried today, August 28, 2014 at her hometown, Agulu in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
As encomiums and tributes pour in for the late iconic public servant, one of her in-laws is unhappy about the burial. Chief Fredrick Dike , who is a native doctor, is not pleased with Dr. Chike Akunyili and some aides of the former Anambra govenor, Peter Obi over being ”side-lined” in the burial process. Dike promises to ”open the heavens” today and spoil the funeral of this great Nigerian woman unless her husband does ”the needful’.
Vanguard reports:
Chief Fredrick Dike, an acclaimed weather controller from Ifiteani village, Agulu, Anambra State and a kinsman of Dr. Chike Akunyili, the husband of late Dora Akunyili, yesterday, vowed to use his mystical powers to disrupt the burial ceremony today.
Dike explained in an interview that Dora’s husband and other stakeholders, including former Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, his Special Adviser on Parks and Markets, Chief Sylvester Nwaobulor, among others, went behind him to meet other rain makers in the town and its environs without recognising him as number one rain maker in Anambra State.
He boasted: “Dora herself is also my wife and we are all sharing in the pain of her death, but since they sidelined me in controlling the weather, they will see rainfall tomorrow (That is today) and throughout the week unless they do the needful.
“Let it also be on record that I am not insisting on loosening the heaven tomorrow because I was not consulted, but because they went to see other rain makers with lots of gift items to control the weather which they know I can do without charging anything. We shall test powers tomorrow.”
The traditional medicine practitioner also alleged that some of his kinsmen were hitherto withholding a national award given him by President Goodluck Jonathan, warning that those in custody of the award to make it available to him before it would be too late.
“I was told that Mr. President gave me an award, but some people are still with it and I want to use this opportunity to let Mr. President know that I’m yet to get the award,” he said
