I Had 12 Surgeries In One Month – Patience Jonathan by bnanzip(m): 8:48am On May 18, 2015
The first family was on Sunday joined by
cabinet ministers , friends and senior aides
,
at the Aso Rock Chapel to thank God for
his mercies as outgoing residents of the
Presidential Villa .
The first lady , Patience Jonathan , was
particularly grateful that she was living the
Villa alive with her spouse , President
Goodluck Jonathan , despite medical
challenges that saw her come under the
surgeon ’ s blade 12 times in just one
month.
Speaking at a valedictory /thanksgiving
church service at the Villa Chapel , Mrs .
Jonathan , while thanked God for elevating
her and her husband to levels they never
dreamed of, used the opportunity to
recount her medical challenges before and
after her husband lost the presidential poll.
She particularly recalled being rushed to
hospital where she underwent surgery and
survived miraculously during the
electioneering campaigns .
Her words : “I really thank God for keeping
me alive . He is a miraculous God. God is
so wonderful in my life , because people
prophesied that one of us will not go back
( leave the villa alive ) . But God has made it
possible… two of us are going back
healthy.
“I never thought in my life that I will be
First Lady. I never dreamt of being wife of
a deputy governor because my husband
was not a politician . But God made it
possible and God lifted us up from deputy
governor and here we are .
“We should be grateful to God for what he
has done. To me and my family, we praise
God. To our followers, today it might not
be too good but I want them to be grateful
to God because you have followed us for a
long time from deputy governor , governor,
vice- president , president .
“You know this position is not for life .
There is no permanent thing , so I want
you
to take it in good faith, that it is the will of
God and you should be praising God. God
is really wonderful . That is for the political
side .
“To my own real life , I thank God for
keeping me alive today . God is so
wonderful . Just two years ago , I went
through operations upon operations.
Within
one month , I passed through 12
operations. Some people said ‘ she is dead’
but God resurrected me .
“God told me ‘ my daughter go back I will
give you second chance , go and finish
your
work’ . “And today if my husband lost this
election I believe God has made me finish
the work.
“This year, my husband was campaigning .
That campaigning time was a trial for me.
Satan came in again and those that know
the former president and his wife , her
corpse was carried out of this place . We
thank God that I and my husband are
going alive.
“Thank God today we are parting with life
and not with death . Our doors are open.
This campaign period , devil struck and
came in again. In pains I was rushed to
the hospital in January and the doctors
told me ‘ mama you have to go for major
big operation now now .’
“The campaign was still going on and I
wondered how we were going to explain
to
Nigerians . You know even when you go
for
check- up, they will be writing in papers
saying all sorts of things .
“I said I and my family have to handover .
My husband will continue with his
campaign crowd until the last day. That
was how I went in for the first major
operation in January ending.
“And by God’ s grace I went for the
operation and came out and it was from
that operation that I went to the campaign
ground.
“And they told me mama, there is another
bigger operation that you have to go in for.
But that this one would not be in this
hospital ; it is too small for this type of
operation . You have to go to a bigger
hospital .
“I said I will go; I have faith in God and
that my God will see me through . He has
brought me out for a purpose . I called my
pastor to continue praying for me. They
want me to be a sacrifice , but I will never
be .
“Then , I went to the bigger hospital . I
booked for the operation and I was asked
to go for the campaign . They gave me a
new date . I had paid for everything
remaining just to enter the theatre and the
thing occurred to the hospital to check me
again.
“By then , my husband had lost the
election . I have packed out of Villa, we are
about going . Behold ! I went to four
hospitals again ( for screening ) and the
thing vanished . My doctors were surprised
they didn’ t think that could happen. ”
She therefore urged her aides who feel
embittered by the loss at the presidential
polls to accept the reality that no political
office is occupied forever .
Speaking earlier , President Goodluck
Jonathan urged those Nigerians he may
have offended during his stay in the Aso
Rock Villa to forgive him, just as he has
forgiven those who wronged him .
He said no leader was perfect , or could
achieve everything , hence the need for
mutual forgiveness , stressing the
importance of leaving behind positive
indelible marks .
According to Jonathan : “We came in as
Vice - President and the wife, today we are
leaving as the former President and former
First Lady. We have achieved it through
you. Read More
