President Goodluck Jonathan will return to the country on Sunday after gracing the international Investors Council Meeting at the Hilton Park Lane in London, the opening day of which he missed due to ill-health.
According to Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the president returns on the advice of his doctors.
“Doctors who examined and treated President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for the sudden onset of severe abdominal pains in London have certified him fully fit to return home and continue his official duties”, Abati wrote in a statement.
“After a thorough evaluation of the president’s symptoms, medically referred to as acute abdomen, the doctors concluded that no surgical intervention was required. President Jonathan will therefore return to Abuja tomorrow evening and will be at work in the Presidential Villa as usual on Monday.
“The president is scheduled to depart from London at about 1400 hours GMT and arrive at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at about 2000 hours.
“He seizes this opportunity to thank all Nigerians once again for their sympathy, support and prayers for his quick recovery following the announcement of his indisposition”.
