The Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, Sen. Bala Mohammed, has condemned recent media
reports that the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, had been flown abroad for
medical treatment.
The minister made
the remark on
Sunday in at his home in Abuja, when the first lady paid him a
condolence visit over the death of his brother, Mallam Yusuf Mohammed. He
described the report as false and malicious.
“We want to dispute
media reports that you are sick and rushed abroad,” he said, “but here you are
resplendent and beautiful.”
He noted that Dame
Jonathan’s support to her husband, the nation, and vulnerable women has had a
positive impact on the lives on Nigerians.
Speaking earlier,
the first lady commiserated with the family of the minister and the people of
Bauchi state over the death of Mallam Yusuf Mohammed. “It is quite sad,” she
said, “but we can’t question God. He gives and takes, but we can pray that his
soul should rest in perfect peace.”
