NEWS : FG Denies First Lady Flown Abroad Over Food Poisoning

There was a report that said the First Lady of the Federation Mrs Dame Patience Jonathan was flown abroad for treatment after too much chop-chop leading to food poisoning.

On this matter, the  special adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati has denied reports that the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan was indisposed and flown abroad for proper medical attention. Abati said the story "was a rumour and there is nothing like that."

They earlier painted a story coming from First Lady's spokesman, Ayo Osinlu who said that Dame Patience Jonathan did actually travel abroad, but she was only away to take a "moment's rest" given that she had not taken a rest since President Jonathan's election last year.

He said: "If you look at her itinerary in August, you will be wondering how she was able to accomplish that. In the course of this week, she will be back home. But remember, it all depends on her plans."
