According to a statement by her
Special Assistant (Media), Ayo Osinlu, the President’s wife is also
using the opportunity of the foreign trip to spend quality time with her
holidaying children before they return to school.
Osinlu however admitted that
Mrs. Jonathan has a history of visiting the unnamed German hospital even
before she became the First Lady, thus making her medical trips
routine.
He disclosed that Mrs. Jonathan is expected back in the country next week.“Our attention has been attracted by some curiosity in a cross section of the public and particularly the media, about the movement of Her Excellency, the First Lady, Dame (Dr) Patience Goodluck Jonathan.
“The First Lady is spending sometime overseeing the management of her mother’s condition.
“She is also using the opportunity to spend quality time with her
holidaying children before they return to school, as they are with her
to see their grandmother.
“It is unfortunate that again, some media houses have allowed
themselves to be used by dedicated mischief makers against the basic
tenet of professional journalism, which regards truth as sacred.
“It is notable that Her Excellency has a history of visiting the
hospital in Germany even before she became the First Lady, thus making
her medical trips routine.
“It is also instructive to state that medical experts have
recommended that every human being should undergo medical check up every
six months, even if not suffering ill health.
“Therefore, hospital visitations of our leaders should not become leading media issues or attract disrespectful comments”.
