FOLLOWING her absence from the country for about two months, First Lady,
Mrs Patience Jonathan, returned to Abuja on Wednesday denying
speculations that she had undergone a cosmetic surgery.
She also lambasted those she said had speculated her death on the
grounds that some occupants of State House were destined not to leave
the place alive.
Speaking in an interview at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
Airport moments after arriving in a presidential jet, she thanked God
for bringing her back safely and expressed her commitment to the welfare
of the Nigerian people.
She was received by Governor Seriake
Dickson of Bayelsa State, wife of the Senate President, Mrs Helen Mark,
members of the National Assembly, wives of state governors, women
groups, among others.
Mrs Jonathan stated: "Thank God Almighty
for bringing me back safely to Nigeria. Wherever there are good people,
there are also bad ones.
"There are a few Nigerians that are
saying what they like not what God has planned. God had said when two or
three are gathered in His name, He will be with them. And Nigerians
gathered and prayed for me and God listened and heard their prayers. So,
I thank God for that.
"At the same time, I will use this
opportunity to tell the few ones that are saying that anybody that goes
to Villa or Aso Rock will die. They mentioned Sani Abacha, Stella
Obasanjo, Umaru Yar'Adua and other people. But they didn't mention
those that went there with their families and succeeded and came out
alive.”
