Dame Patience Jonathan Appears in Public To Dispel Rumours that She's Sick & in Germany

Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan has appeared in public to dispel media reports that she has been secretly flown to Germany for an urgent medical treatment.

ChannelsTV reports that Mrs Jonathan, who paid a condolence visit to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory over the death of his elder brother, said the president had asked her to personally come for the visit to dispel the report of her ill health.

“My husband asked me to come and see you specially. I have come to tell you sorry because of what has happened to your family. Whatever happens to you happens to us,” she said.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed, described the report as treachery and ungodly. 

“I have seen some reports in the media born out of mischief. “Our mother cannot be sick and God will continue to protect you. You are well and you will be well forever,” he said, praying for the First lady.

He said that the report would translate to good health and longevity for the First Lady.
