The Presidency on Sunday claimed there was no
truth in media reports that President Goodluck
Jonathan was flown to Germany on Friday for
medical attention.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said this in a
telephone interview with Punch from Germany,
where the President had been since Friday on a
“private visit.”
Abati had last Thursday issued a "terse"
statement, indicating that Jonathan, with a few
aides, was travelling to Germany on a private
visit and should be expected back this week.
Media reports however had it that the
President had been taken to a German
hospital after he suddenly fallen ill.
According to the reports, an earlier planned
dinner for members of the just-concluded
2014 National Conference on Thursday had
to be cancelled because of the sudden
illness of the President.
But Abati said the reports were “the figments of
the writers’ imagination.” He said the President
had the right to embark on private visits and
that he was not only hale and hearty but also
treating files in his hotel room.
The presidential spokesman said he sent out a
statement, a video and audio on Saturday
showing Jonathan as speaking on the telephone
with members of the national under-20 women’s
football team, the Falconets, asking them to go
all out for victory against their German
counterparts in Sunday’s final of the 2014 FIFA
under-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Abati said, “Before leaving Nigeria, I issued a
statement that the President will be embarking
on a private visit to Germany with a few of his
aides.
“On Saturday, I sent out a statement that the
President spoke with the Falconets on the
telephone. I also sent out the video and audio of
his conversation with the players where he
promised to stay awake and watch the final
match.
“The NTA and some other broadcasting stations
aired the video and audio. There are also
photographs out there showing the President
when he was leaving Nigeria and when he was
arriving Germany. The President is hale and
hearty. In fact, he is treating files in his hotel
room.
“Are these not enough proofs that Mr. President
is not sick as they want Nigerians to believe?"
