Contrary to official claims that President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Germany on a private visit, LEADERSHIP authoritatively gathered yesterday that the president actually took ill and left for Germany to seek medical care.

Efforts to get a confirmation from the Presidency failed up until the time of going to press, as several calls to his spokesman, Dr Reuben Abati, did not go through and he didn’t respond to an email enquiry either.

Similarly, the senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, did not pick or return several calls to his mobile number last night.

President Jonathan left for Germany yesterday after performing the closing ceremony of the National Conference on Thursday.

Prior to his departure, presidential spokesman Abati had issued a terse statement saying the president would be making a private visit to Germany as from Friday (yesterday)and would be accompanied by some of his principal aides.

It was gathered that the president, on arrival in Germany, headed for a private hospital for medical check-up.

It could not however be confirmed if he went to the same hospital he had visited with his wife last year when the first lady faced some health challenges.

Before his sudden departure for Germany on Thursday, President Jonathan was billed to host members of the just-concluded National Conference to a dinner at the Presidential Villa, but the programme was cancelled at the dying minute.

Although no official reason was given for the cancellation, it was gathered that the development was connected with the president’s state of health which required urgent attention.

An authoritative source in the Presidency told LEADERSHIP that despite assurances that the president would return soon from his trip, it was not likely as his health situation was not too good. He said there was uneasy calm and anxiety in the Presidential Villa yesterday over the state of health of the president.

Meanwhile, the situation has also elicited concern from prominent Ijaw (President Jonathan’s ethnic group) political leaders, some of whom converged on the home of a prominent elder statesman from the ethnic group in Abuja to deliberate on the matter. A source privy to the meeting hinted that the Ijaw sons were considering sending a delegation to visit the president.

The source said before the meeting ended, it was agreed that clearance would be obtained from the Presidential Villa on whether the president is in a state to receive visitors before it would be decided on who would visit him.

Some people had speculated about Mr Jonathan’s health just before his trip to Washington, DC, United States, where he attended the 2014 US-Africa Summit early this month.

Wotever

Get well soon

Sore throat-Germany,headache-London, Sneezing- India!!!They wouldnt lead by example and would expect their aides, associates, and the others to patronize our local hospitals. Is it that foreign-trained doctors cannot practise effectively in this environ or FG cannot affort to buy those facilities that are used overseas. Anyway, I hope he recovers soon.

This remains the ONLY REASON why our hospitals will forever remain in shambles!!!

I hope he lives till next valentine so he can be given the humiliation he deserves. Afterwards, he can go jump off Everest for all I care!

though i dnt like u as a person due to ur cluelessness and incompetence,i wish u a quick recovery. Stay safe and desist frm taking ogogoro.

I usually pity jonathan............dude is fucking stressed up per second. Why not take some days off,go for a vacation. U are dying slowly guy!!!! Get well soon and go back to otueke come next year

get well soon Nigeria best presido

The Young man has been overstretched by Nigeria"s myriads of chronic problems occassioned by the Oligarchs who bastardize the collective wells and wealth of the common-man. Jonathan must stay alive to revamp the destinies of children who have no shoes, and capitalists that know no joy.

We are in this mess together. Jonathan must not give up. The common need of man is happiness but greed has made us suffer. We have forgotten our core destinies.

GEJ till I see another choice, as a matter of facts, GEJ till 2019.

Berem, go back to bed, your nemesis is here.

haters wish u death. but we wish u quick recovery IJN. amen.

GEJ should be tested for Ebola b4 he steps his legs into this country again ooo. because Ebola no sabi president, minister, prime minister, senator, Army general etc. Make them test am for Ebola.

Let him get well soon before they say it is APC that wants to kill him. Our leaders can like to politicize issues even the Presidents state of health will not be left out.

I wish him quickest recovery.

egbaguy: though i dnt like u as a person due to ur cluelessness and incompetence,i wish u a quick recovery. Stay safe and desist frm taking ogogoro.

Hmm
Every force of darkness wanting to pull down Goodluck Ebele Nwa Jonathan
What are you waiting for?
[size=28pt]Die die die!![/size]

The problem with our politician is that, they subject themselves to sudden death due to negligence to their health status.
.
Healthwise, Jonathan is weak and can not withstand the tussule of the next four years as president. But some people are encouraging him to continue till 2019.
.
It's only a greedy person that will consider wealth more important than his health. All is vanity if there is no good health.
.
Jonathan should just quit for rest for the sake of his health. God forbids it happens, you all will blame God.
.
Jonathan, my advice is that, return safely and implement National Conference Report, then resign. Because the pressure of 2015 may cause lots of damages to your health or your wife's.
.
Wish you well

Clueless again.

i hope it is not ebola o

u go see people go start to dey say na APC dey behind diz one nw. bt y germany, oga jona hospital don finish for ur country?

Retardeeeen, please don't die yet oh!

I want to see you end up in kirikiri. After that, you are free to kick the bucket in prison.

babyosisi: Hmm

"Chukwu is grossly misinforming the public," the source said.

Countering reports from both the Federal Government and the Ministry of Health in Nigeria claiming almost N1.9bn in funding was released to fight the Ebola virus, doctors working at the isolation center at the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) in Yaba, Lagos, say that they have yet to receive any financial support, and as conditions there deterioriate, so does staff morale.
