Presidency: The First Lady is Hale and Hearty

First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan

Kiyo: Sahara Reporters published a story yesterday that the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has been dropped from a trip with her husband to Namibia and South Africa, as a result of her ailment. However, in a swift reaction, the presidency has described the online report as untrue.

Ayo Osinlu, the Special Assistant to the President on Media, attached to the First Lady, said the First Lady was hale and hearty and was expected to participate as a keynote speaker at a Religious, Traditional and Adolescents Leaders Conference, an event that is part of the inauguration of the National Strategy for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy in Sierra Leone next week.

Filo: We wish her well all the same.
