Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience has confessed that she suddenly took ill and was miraculously healed in German hospital immediately after her husband lost the March 28 election to General Muhammadu Buhari of All Progressives Congress (APC)
Dame Patience who spoke today at a thanksgiving service in honour of the first family, to commemorate their time in the chapel, expressed gratitude to God that she had been completely and miraculously healed from an ailment that made her undergo surgical operations four times in a German hospital. This, she emphasized, happened immediately after her husband lost the presidential election on March 28.
The first family bade farewell to the congregation, whom they asked to forgive them if they had erred or failed in any way during their time in office. This is even as Dame Patience said that she had never dreamt of becoming First Lady in her life.
The special session was also meant to serve as a handover service to the incoming Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who was, however, not present at the event.
The chaplain, Venerable Obioma Onwuzurumba, said that he would miss the friendly nature of the first family and was sure that this would be the same feeling for other members of the congregation, whose lives the first family touched in one way or the other. [myad]
