Speculation Trails Goodluck's Visit To Germany




Speculations were rife on Wednesday that the trip of  President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience, to Germany which the Presidency described as “a private visit” might be on health grounds.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, had on Tuesday issued a statement indicating that Jonathan would leave Abuja for Germany en-route to Paris, France to participate in the Summit on Peace and Security in Africa.
Abati said the President would stop over in Germany for a private visit on his way to Paris and return to Abuja at the conclusion of the summit on Saturday.
The announcement of the “private visit” coming a few weeks after he fell sick in London, fuelled speculation that Jonathan might have decided to visit the same German hospital where his wife sought medical attention for about seven weeks last year.
Since he was accompanied by Patience, speculations were also  rife that she    might use the opportunity of the visit  to  undergo  a medical check-up.
The fears were further confirmed on Wednesday when it was discovered that many of the President’s close aides, who usually accompany him on foreign trips,  did not travel with him.
 It was learnt that some of them might join the President in Paris later in the week.
 The social media were on Wednesday awash with reports of the motive of President’s German trip.
 An online news site, reported that Jonathan and his wife checked into a hospital in Germany on Wednesday.
 Although Jonathan fell sick during his recent trip to London and was treated of severe abdominal pains , he had since his return been attending state functions.
Apart from being at the  opening of the second North-East Economic Summit in Gombe State, the President also received President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday evening.
Efforts to get Abati to speak on the President’s alleged visit to a German hospital did not yield any positive result  as of 10pm on Wednesday.
When contacted on the telephone, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said he could not comment on the matter because he had not established contact with the President abroad.

    1. What education and employment crap are you talking about do you know how many gradutes with degree,masters can get employed?
      Education is the only investment a man can get for his son but which university do you have open so we can go to? If Assu are under staffed what quality of education are we going to have? Which confort with out infrastrure do you want us to have? I fit go on forever but are you sure you don't have a bottle in your front like presido?

  6. Anonymous 8:39 ,your live will be cut short for supporting a faild leader like Jonathan ,who has sent many Nigerians to their untimely grave due his anti peoples policies. I certainly believe you did not pass through a veritable educational training because I can't conceive how an enlightened mind will support the most corrupt goverment in Nigerian history out of ethnic sentiment . I repeat that anybody that support this goverment does not mean well for Nigeria.

  9. Sunchuks u are a blatant liar. Amaechi is not frrom Omananelu. The road in question was awarded to ur GDI leader who refused to do a good job. No sincere Rivers man will tell you Chibuike is not performing except those who have one personal grivance or the other against him bcos he is not giving them contracts or govt money to eat. Go round the state before you talk. Be sincere.
