The
First Lady, who was clad in a native attire, said she was hale and
hearty and was happy to be back to join her husband in working for the
Nigerian people. “I am very happy to see my dear people, children and the people of Nigeria,” she said on arrival.”
There
have been various accounts of what took the first lady out of the
country but the Presidency has kept mum over the nature of the ailment
that warranted the foreign trip.
While some of her aides insisted that she went for a befitting rest, others claimed ignorant of the trip.

But
after many weeks of trying to conceal the outing, the President was
shown on the NTA network as having gone to visit the wife in a certain
location in Germany.
The
Spokesman for the President, Reuben Abati said after the ‘visit’ that
the pictures had put to rest, the ‘lies being peddled about the First
Lady but did not say what the truth about her was.
The
initial report in the media was that she was being treated for food
poisoning while others said she underwent an undisclosed operation.
