Contrary to denials by presidential spokesman Reuben Abati, and the bare faced lie by Dame Patience Jonathan’s spokesman, Ayo Osinlu that the first lady is only “resting” in a foreign country, it has been revealed that the First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan, has undergone surgery in a German hospital for ruptured appendicitis. According to THISDAY sources, she was flown out for medical treatment over a week ago.

Mrs. Jonathan was said to have been accompanied on the trip by a medical personnel from the Presidential Villa, and a few of her aides.
THISDAY gathered that the decision to fly her abroad followed her deteriorating health condition in Abuja, after she was initially treated for “food poisoning.”
It was learnt that Mrs. Jonathan, shortly after returning from a trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), took ill, prompting the invitation of the First Family’s medical personnel to attend to her. She was said to have been treated for food poisoning for four days, “but her condition kept worsening by the day,” the source said.
By the fifth day, President Goodluck Jonathan was said to have yielded to the suggestion that she be flown abroad for “thorough treatment.” It was not certain if the inability of the president’s doctors to treat her was because of faulty diagnosis or insufficient facilities.
