First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, made her first public appearance few days ago when she declared open the eight edition of the Abuja Carnival at Eagle Square after her return from Germany for medical treatment. During the weeks she was away in Germany, her absence was felt at public functions and other social events in Abuja, particularly those relating to issues concerning women and children.

Though she is yet to attend other public functions after the Abuja Carnival, her return to the country in October has changed the mood amongst workers at the Presidential Villa. Before her return, there were apprehensions about her state of health and uncertainty as to when she would come back to the country but with the presence of Dame Patience at the Villa, most of the workers are in joyous moods and happy that she returned safely.

On her arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, she was received by some top government functionaries, wives of governors, some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party and other well-wishers. There, she took the opportunity to express gratitude to God for bringing her back while denying that she went to Germany for cosmetic surgery.
She also expressed her appreciation for the love, concern and prayers of many Nigerians for her safe return. For residents of the Federal Capital Territory, the return of the First Lady and her appearance at the Abuja Carnival was a welcome development. Speaking with Inside FCT, Ngozi Ezechukwu who was at the opening of the Abuja Carnival said she was happy to see the first lady again at public function after her medical trip abroad.

“Her presence at the carnival added colour to the event because it was her first public appearance after her return from Germany; I was happy to see her and I wish her well”, Ezechukwu said.

Daniel Emmanuel and another resident who simply identified herself as Tochi also said they were excited the First lady was around to declare open the Carnival, saying that, “it is just a matter of time before she starts attending other public functions”.

At the Carnival, the First Lady urged Nigerians to live together in peace and continue to promote and imbibe the good values of the country’s culture and tradition, stressing that the country’s diverse cultural values were too rich to be ignored and allowed to go into extinction. She promised to use her position to ensure that culture and tourism create employment for Nigerians, particularly women and youths
