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.
