After close to two months of undergoing treatment abroad, wife of Nigeria's President, Patience Jonathan has been scheduled to return to the country today (Thursday).
According to presidency sources, arrangements were made on Wednesday night to bring the First Lady back into the country early Thursday, barring any unexpected developments.
An online report said a presidential jet was scheduled to fly out of Abuja on Wednesday night to bring her back to the President villa in Abuja.
Patience was flown overseas nearly six weeks ago after developing complications from a cosmetic procedure she had undertaken in Dubai.
Upon returning to Nigeria from Dubai, the President’s wife was allegedly flown to Germany in an air ambulance following an emergency during which she was allegedly diagnosed with “food poisoning”.
According to reports, investigation revealed that her condition was more complicated and precarious. In the early stages she was said to have lost her power of speech for four days.
President Jonathan had on Saturday visited his wife in Germany in company with two of their children. The visit was aired on the Nigerian Television Authority on Sunday evening. In the short footage, Patience was seen to be in high spirit as she took photographs with the children as well as her husband and members of his delegation.
It would be recalled that her spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, had earlier told journalists that the President’s wife was only resting abroad after the stress of hosting the African First Ladies conference.
