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.”
