The first lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan arrived Abuja International Airport on the afternoon of October 17, 2012. Her arrival to Nigeria came after months of speculation over her health status. She was welcomed warmly as she arrived. Her husband and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and other close associates were at hand to receive her.
The 1st lady was looking strong and healthy as she received hugs and kisses from her close family members and aides. She did not seem to have suffered life threatening illness as falsely reported by saharareporters – repeatedly.
Saharareporters had published what now appears mischievous reports on the 1st Lady’s health condition.
The publication had claimed that Nigeria’s 1st Lady had suffered food poisoning before it changed and published that she suffered from rupture of appendix. Following the publication, they changed again and said she suffered from Parkinson disease. Few days later, the publication released another publication stating that the Nigerian 1st lady suffered from cancer of the uterus.
With the return of the 1st lady, the reports have been put to shame.
