He also talked about how good she was when she was the minister of health .
He said; “As a minister, Dora was good. We were very happy to work with her. She was diligent, intelligent, very forthright, extremely patriotic and above all she was extremely brave and could say anything right or wrong and did not care whose ox is gored. That was Dora for you.“She sought to protect the lives of Nigerians as DG of NAFDAC and never compromised‎ as regards those who traffic fake drugs.“One thing that endeared her to me is that, probably I’m one president that has worked with so many women. Atimes you noticed rivalry amongst women but with her you, never noticed any rivalry.“Today, our dear sister has left us but to my brother, her husband, as the Bishop has told us about the virtues of a good wife, you have to thank God you will get that respect as her husband because of her achievements".
