THE First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan has left
the Horst Schmidt Klinik in Wiesbaden, Germany, where she was treated for
an undisclosed ailment for about a month, Vanguard can authoritatively report.
She reportedly left the hospital two days ago.
Doctors at the Horst Schmidt Klinik in Wiesbaden last
week were reported to have told the media they had been in touch with Nigerian
officials on Patience’s condition.
“They wanted us
to discharge Mrs. Patience Jonathan but we have notified the Nigerian government
through its embassy here that we will not be able to discharge our patient at
this time because her situation is not stable,” a doctor who did not want her
name used said last Wednesday, adding: “We still need to monitor her very well
before we can ask her to proceed on any long-distance trip.”
To hasten the recovery of the First Lady, officials at
German Hospital last week barred visitors and some top Nigerian officials who
went to see her. A source close to the presidency confirmed that the daily
morning devotion which Jonathan and his wife usually attend at the Villa, is
being used to offer special prayers for the first lady.The president’s office
had continued to say that Patience Jonathan was expected back in Nigeria by the
end of the last week.
