Looking Into the Matter: Patience Jonathan's Health Condition
04.04.2013, 15:52 Features


For some time now the media has been buzzing with the relapse of Dame Patience Jonathan's health and her recent junketing to Germany for routine medical check up. This controversy would not have been generated had the federal government handled the matter the way it should be handled. With the absurd way the president wife's health condition is being shrouded in secrecy, it gives the impression that there is more to it than meets the eye or that there is something strange and bizarre that the federal government is hiding from the Nigerian public.

The controversy over the president's wife's health has been an issue of public discourse for a long time now. The first time the first lady was out of the country on health grounds, all kinds of reasons were given for her stay abroad. And the federal government did not help matters by its refusal to inform the public about the true nature of her health condition. Indeed, government was short of denying that the first lady was sick only for her to return to Nigeria and confess that she resurrected after being 'dead' for seven days.
