First Lady not sick - Aide

CONTRARY to the ongoing rumours on the state of health of the First Lady,  Mrs Patience Jonathan, her Special Assistant (Media), Mr Ayo Osinlu, has said she is not sick.

In a statement on Monday, Osinlu said “our attention has been brought to speculations in the media about the movement of the First Lady, Patience Jonathan, recently.

“For the avoidance of doubts and ambiguities, I wish to state that Her Excellency travelled to participate in the first Green Women Conference in Paris, France, on March 17, where she received the Global Women Leaders’ Award for Peace, 2013.”

According to the statement, the president’s wife, after the conference, travelled to Germany to visit her foster mother and children.

“Thereafter, the First Lady called on ‘Mama Sisi’ who is currently receiving medical attention.

“It was in her normal plan to spend some time overseeing the management of the foster mother’s condition.

‘’The First Lady also seized the opportunity to spend some time in the company of Mama’s children before they return to school. She  is expected in the country next week,” the statement said.
