Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has disclosed that she suffered health crisis during the re-election campaigns of her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan.
Mrs. Jonathan revealed this during a farewell service organised in their honour by the Aso Villa Chapel, The Punch reports.
According to the First Lady, her health problems were serious to the extent that she went to Germany in January to undergo one major surgical operation.
She added that her trip was made a top secret in such a way that she could take part in campaign rallies in the afternoon and sneak to Germany with the last flight in the evening.
Mrs Jonathan said that doctors were planning to hold another surgery but God miraculously healed her. She added that after her husband lost his re-election bid that she returned to Germany for the surgery and it was at the edge of being taken in when doctors decided to carry out medical tests again.
“I went through four different hospitals in Germany for the test and they returned a verdict that it was no longer necessary to do the surgery,” she added.
It would be recalled, that Mama Peace made her first public appearance after Jonathan’s defeat at Thanksgiving and Farewell service, held on May 10 at Church of the Advent, Abuja. Dame Jonathan looked really gorgeous that day. She was full of smiles throughout the service, sang and danced to the rhythms of the church choir.
However, last week the First Lady faced some problems that could shatter her health again.
Following her decision to host the African First Ladies Peace Mission summit in Abuja on Friday, May 15, as against June, which is the scheduled date, Mrs Jonathan was handed a law suit.
The plaintiffs, whose suit was submitted at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, asked the court to restrain the First Lady from holding the meeting.
