This was contrary to the reports which stated that
President Jonathan has used the opportunity of his three-day visit to Malawi
and Botswana to secretly visit the First Lady at the Horst Schmidt Klinik,
Wiesbaden in Germany.
It was gathered that Jonathan decided not to visit the
First Lady in order not to give the rumour about her health any kind of
weight. Mrs. Jonathan’s health rumour
had gone viral in the media and on social network sites.
According to a source from the Presidency , “When the
information about the First Lady’s hospitalization emerged about a fortnight
ago, the official statement issued was that she went abroad to rest and recover
from a hectic schedule during the African First Ladies’ conference held in
Abuja.
“The media team at the Presidency is also reported to be
in a fix as they have been rendered powerless on the matter following initial
security concerns. But through, some media, particularly online publications,
the First Lady ailment was exposed”
Another aide who spoke on why the President decided to
fly out the First Lady, said “the Presidency was deeply concerned about the
competence of doctors attached to the Aso Rock Villa Clinic after it emerged
that they apparently misdiagnosed the First Lady’s ailment even when her
condition turned serious”.
