Her tweets reads:
”A senior doctor met me, asked where I am from, and I said akwa ibon state, then he said “akwa ibom girls have been know to have sweet pussycat, do you”.
I confronted him, but then I was given a query letter for insubordination coz of it. The hospital doesn’t think I have a right
I have answered the query but yet nobody seem to be doing anything, all I am being told is that he is a senior colleagues and he can say and do whatever he wants. This is the country we live in… So infuriating that the management of the hospital feels he wasn’t wrong.”
