Patience Jonathan Now In Congo, Says Presidency by brightec(m): 2:48am On May 08, 2015
The Presidency on Thursday morning broke its
silence on the whereabouts of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience.
The Media Assistant to Mrs. Jonathan, Mr. Ayo
Adewuyi, in a statement made available to
journalists in Abuja said the President’s wife is
currently in Congo.
He said Mrs. Jonathan was in the country to join
her colleagues from Africa for the celebration
of the 30th anniversary of a non-governmental
organisation, Congo Assistance Foundation,
floated by the Congolese First Lady, Madam
Antoinette Sassou-Nguesso.
Adewuyi however did not indicate when Mrs.
Jonathan arrived Congo or when she is
expected back in Nigeria.
He only said his principal was received on
arrival by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Congo
Brazzaville, Princess Onipede, in company of
top Congolese officials.
The President’s wife has not been seen
attending any public event inside the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, since her husband lost
his re-election bid in the March 28 presidential
election.
She was conspicuously absent during the Good
Friday and Easter Sunday services held inside
the Aso Villa Chapel.
Mrs. Jonathan did not also join her husband for
the funeral service held in honour of his top
aide, Oronto Douglas, in Yenagoa last Saturday.
While she voted alongside her husband in the
presidential election in Otuoke, Bayelsa State,
she stayed back in her home state, Rivers,
during the April 11 governorship election.
She had expressed fears ahead of the elections
that she would be thrown into prison if
Muhammadu Buhari wins the election.
The Presidency had so far kept mute on her
whereabouts, therefore, giving room for
speculation.
Adewuyi’s statement read, “First Lady, Dame
Patience Faka Jonathan, is in Brazzaville,
Republic of Congo, joining other African First
Ladies for the celebration of the 30th
Anniversary of Congo Assistance Foundation,
an NGO of Congolese First Lady, Madam
Antoinette Sassou-Nguesso.
“The Foundation established in 1984 has
engendered social action in the areas of health,
education, skills acquisition in favour of
indigent people of Congo.
“Dame Patience Jonathan runs similar
organisation in Nigeria, the Aruera Reach-out
Foundation which also focuses on the uplift of
women and children, the needy and
imprisoned.
“The First Ladies of Benin Republic, Senegal,
Mali, Tchad, Niger, Guinea Conakry are also in
Brazzaville for the grand finale of the week-long
programmes, during which a National Centre
for Sickle Cell Disease was inaugurated.
“Dame Patience Jonathan was received on
arrival by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Congo
Brazzaville, Princess Onipede, in company of
top Congolese officials.”
