Three weeks after news broke out that First Lady Patience Dame Jonathan was flown to a Germany Specialist Hospital for an undisclosed ailment, the cloud surrounding her state of health is yet to clear even as the Presidency still kept mum over the issue. There were reports yesterday that President Goodluck Jonathan plans to reunite with his wife next weekend, and she would accompany him to the United Nations General Assembly in New York against doctor’s advice.

Reports also had it that doctors at the German hospital, where Mrs. Jonathan is being treated, have reportedly delayed her treatment by another week while they await test results from body tissues sent out to other European specialist hospitals.


There were also speculations that the First Lady may be moved to another hospital to allow her to recuperate.

According to Presidency source, the decision to relocate Mrs. Jonathan to another hospital was for security reasons since there had been a lot of disclosure in the media about Horst Schmidt Klinic in Wiesbaden, Germany where she was said to have been admitted.

However, speculations were rife over her medical condition, particularly the ailment that took the First Lady to Germany.

While a version of the news said the first lady was admitted in the Hospital for food poisoning, others said it was for appendicitis operation and even tummy tuck.

Sources close to the Presidency said that since the First Lady was flown abroad, her close associates and friends have continued to hold prayer sessions at Aso Rock to seek the face of God for her quick recovery and her return to the country.

About two weeks ago, her Special Assistant on Media, Ayo Osinlu, had insisted that the first Lady was on vacation and also took time to rest abroad, stressing that the First Lady is in stable health and would soon return to the country.

He was, however, not certain when Dam Patience would return to the country from Germany. When asked when the First Lady would return to the country, Osinlu had said, I don’t know, I don’t have any information on that.”
