Ill Nigerian President Jonathan & First Lady, Patience In Germany For Medical Treatment

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has left the country with his
wife for an important medical treatment in Germany.
Sources disclosed that the President left Abuja on
Tuesday morning with his ailing wife Patience
Jonathan under tight secrecy.
Although details of the visit were shrouded in secrecy
as the president left with only about three of his
trusted aides, it was gathered that the First Lady will
see her doctors before they leave for France on Friday
where the president is expected to attend a security
meeting for African leaders.
The president left the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport
Tuesday morning at 2am with his ADC, the CSO and
two other aides ostensibly to ward off any rumour
about the First Lady's health.
The president's wife has been out of public glare for a
while owing to her deteriorating health.
She was in a German hospital for more than one
month earlier this year where she said she died and
resurrected.
The initial report on Tuesday was that the President
Goodluck Jonathan will leave Abuja tonight
{Tuesday} for Germany en-route to Paris, France
where he is scheduled to participate in the Summit
on Peace and Security in Africa.
About fifty heads of state and government are
expected to participate in the Elysee Palace Summit
which will be hosted by President Francois Hollande
of France.
The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki
Moon, heads of European institutions and leaders of
Africa's sub-regional and continental organizations
such as the African Union and ECOWAS will also
participate in the summit which has economic
partnerships, sustainable development and climate
change on its agenda as well.
President Jonathan will be accompanied by the First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, relevant ministers
and the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(rtd.).
He will stop-over in Germany for a private visit on his
way to Paris and return to Abuja at the conclusion of
the summit on Saturday.
But an online media SaharaReporters has it that
"President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience
Jonathan, on Wednesday checked in at a hospital in
Germany.
And that plans were made for the president to
receive medical attention in Germany after he
suddenly fell ill last weekend in his home-state of
Bayelsa during a visit there. The president's sudden
illness almost led to his emergency evacuation to
Germany, our source said."
More details soon
