When Buhari was the head of the PTF, late Prof Dora Akunyili worked under him though not directly.She got sick and doctors in Nigeria advised her to go abroad for surgery.The PTF approved and provided the money in US$ for her treatment and it was a princely sum.She arrived at the
Hospital but after a battery of tests she was told the operation is no longer necessary.She was given drugs and was discharged.When she came back to the country, people advised her to keep the money, she refused and returned it back to the http://PTF.An  associate of
Buhari heard about this and told Buhari.He invited Dora, thanked her profusely for her honesty and l think he gave her a letter of commendation.When OBJ came to power in 1999 he found NAFDAC in shambles and needed an honest and qualified person to turn NAFDAC around, OBJ asked
Buhari if he knew anyone he can vouch for, Buhari told OBJ about Dora Akunyili.OBJ placed a call to Prof Akinyili and the rest is history. Anyone trying to smear Dora's image should tell Nigerians there pedigree. We know our history. Peace.
