FG DEBUNKS RUMOUR OF FIRST LADY ÂS ILLNESS.

ABUJA The special adviser to the
president on Media and Publicity, Reuben
Abati has denied reports that the First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan was
indisposed and flown abroad for proper
medical attention. While responding to reports which
emanated from online news platforms,
Abati said the story was a rumour and
there is nothing like that. Earlier, First Lady spokesman, Ayo
Osinlu, had told the media that Dame
Patience Jonathan did actually travel
abroad, but she was only away to take a
moments rest given that she had not
taken a rest since President Jonathans election last year. He said: If you look at her itinerary in
August, you will be wondering how she
was able to accomplish that.
In the course
of this week, she will be back home. But
remember, it all depends on her plans. However, Nigerians in Germany have
debunked Presidential statement that the
First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan only
travelled abroad to rest, without
indicating exactly where she is. Media reports last night quoted the
office of the First Lady of saying that
Patiences foreign trip was to take time
off to rest and not for medical purposes.
