I told you HERE that Patience Jonathan was hospitalised in Germany and you all abused me, saying it was fake abi? now according to SaharaReporters,
Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has been in a hospital
in Germany in the last four days, Abuja State House sources, sources said she’s undergoing treatment for food poisoning. The sources also said Mrs. Jonathan, who is also a Permanent Secretary in
the Bayelsa State civil service, was airlifted to the hospital by an air
ambulance in midweek under emergency medical conditions.
Presidencial sources stated that the emergency airlift departed for
Wisbanden, Germany, but it is not clear if her treatment was being
undertaken in that city. They said she was only able to speak earlier
today, four days after her arrival, because the illness had been so
severe that she lost her voice.
Our sources could not say when she will return to the country.
Nigeria’s political leaders and their families routinely seek expensive
medical attention abroad, an irony occasioned by their failure to
develop the same facilities at home. In the past few years, two former
First Ladies have died on foreign hospital beds.
