The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience
Jonathan, has not been seen in public since President Goodluck Jonathan
lost the March 28 presidential election to Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.) of the All Progressives Congress.
The President had last.....
Tuesday conceded
defeat and called Buhari on the telephone when it became clear from the
results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission that
he had lost his re-election bid.
But since then, the President’s wife had not been seen in public.
He did not attend the Good Friday
service held inside the Aso Villa Chapel with her husband neither did
she attend the Easter Sunday service inside the same chapel.
Mrs. Jonathan and the President’s mother, Eunice, had always been accompanying Jonathan to such services.
The last time she was seen in public was
penultimate Saturday when she and her husband voted at their polling
unit in Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
While many believed however that she
must have been too devastated by her husband’s electoral loss to appear
in public so soon, our correspondent’s investigation however showed that
Mrs. Jonathan might have travelled out of the country.
A Presidency source who pleaded
anonymity told our correspondent that Mrs. Jonathan travelled to the
United Kingdom during the week to sort out some domestic issues.
It will be recalled that Mrs. Jonathan
had during one of the presidential rallies she organised ahead of the
elections claimed that Buhari would send her to jail if he was elected.
Drop a comment....thanks!
