President Goodluck Jonathan and
his wife, Patience Jonathan, have
both checked in at a hospital in
Germany as a result of a yet to be
disclosed ailment.
On Tuesday night, President
Jonathan had abruptly flown out of
Abuja ostensibly to attend a
Summit on peace and security in
Africa organized by French
government. Several ministers
and service chiefs accompanied
him to the airport for the late night
flight, but only a
handful of officials travelled on the
actual flight.
A reliable source at the Presidency
told Sahara Reporters that,
contrary to the impression created
that the trip was for the French-
sponsored security summit,
Jonathan and his wife are
undergoing tests and receiving
treatment in the same German
hospital where Patience spent
several months last year.
According to Sahara Reporters, the
source added that Mr President
had been feeling unwell since
returning from a recent trip to
London where he was hospitalized
for a serious
stomach-related ailment. Sahara
Reporters had disclosed that the
president fell seriously ill after a
bout of bingeing on alcohol.
But the Presidency had denied
that report before now.
The source revealed that plans
were made for President Jonathan
to receive medical attention in
Germany after he suddenly fell ill
last weekend in his home-state of
Bayelsa during a
visit there. The president's sudden
illness almost led to his
emergency evacuation to
Germany, the Presidency source
said.
Sahara Reporters sources stated
that Mr. Jonathan has had
recurring abdominal troubles in
recent weeks.
