I was ill during the election campaign period - Patience Jonathan ...

First Lady, Patience Jonathan says she was very ill during the election period and had to undergo medical treatment in Germany. Mrs Jonathan made the revelation while speaking at a special church Thanksgiving and Farewell service organized for her and the president at Aso Rock Chapel today.

According to her, she was so ill to the extent that she will engage in political campaigns for her husband during the day and fly out to Germany for treatment at night. She said she was sneaked out of the country to Germany for surgery in January 2015. She said she was miraculously healed immediately after the elections.

"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 said

This will  be the last service president Jonathan and his wife will be attending at Aso Rock villa.
