9ja First lady Patience Jonathan Suffers Food Poisoning; Airlifted To Germany For Treatment

There were speculation on Sunday
night that the wife of President
Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, might
be undergoing treatment in
Germany for food poisoning.
An online news portal,
Saharareporters, had reported that
Patience had been undegoing
treatment in a German hospital for
about four days.

The news medium reports that
Patience was airlifted to the hospital
by an air ambulance last week under
emergency medical conditions.
It also quoted Presidency sources
who said that the emergency airlift
departed for Wisbanden, Germany
but could not confirm if her
treatment was being undertaken in
that city.

Efforts made by The PUNCH to
confirm both the health and
whereabouts of the Presidents wife
on Sunday night were abortive.

Calls placed to the aides of both the
President and his wife were not
picked. These aides included Special
Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati; and
Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin
Okupe.
