PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JOHNATHAN ILL BUT NOT SERIOUS- MEDIA ADVISER SAYS

President Goodluck Jonathan could not attend the opening of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investors’ Council due to ill health. Jonathan arrived London on Wednesday, where he was to preside over a three-day meeting of Nigeria’s Honourary International Investors’ Council (HIIC) in London.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, President Jonathan became indisposed and could not be present at the opening of the event.

He said the president had since been examined by competent medical practitioners and had been advised to rest for a few days.

“The Presidency wishes to assure all Nigerians that President Jonathan’s condition is nothing serious and that the medical attention he has sought is only precautionary,” Abati said.
