In a statement on Monday 1st Of April 2013, Oshinlu explained that Mrs. Jonathan, who has not been around for quite sometime now, was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before moving to Paris, France, where she received the 2013 Global Women Leaders’ Award for Peace.
The Statement further states that the first Lady is currently in Italy spending time with her ailing mother 'mama sisi.' See full statement after the cut
“Our attention has been attracted by some curiosity in a cross section of the public and particularly the media, about the movement of Her Excellency, the First Lady, Dame (Dr) Patience Goodluck Jonathan. For the avoidance of doubts and ambiguities, we wish to state that the First Lady travelled to Dubai, after which she proceeded to Paris, France, to participate in the 1st Green Women Conference, which took place in Paris on March 17, 2013 where she received the 2013 Global Women Leaders’ Award for Peace.“She thereafter proceeded to Italy from where she went to Germany to see her mother, Mama Sisi, who is currently receiving medical attention.
“The First Lady is spending sometime overseeing the management of her mother’s condition.
“She is also using the opportunity to spend quality time with her holidaying children before they return to school, as they are with her to see their grandmother.
“It is unfortunate that again, some media houses have allowed themselves to be used by dedicated mischief makers against the basic tenet of professional journalism, which regards truth as sacred.
“It is notable that Her Excellency has a history of visiting the hospital in Germany even before she became the First Lady, thus making her medical trips routine.
“It is also instructive to state that medical experts have recommended that every human being should undergo medical check up every six months, even if not suffering ill health.
“Therefore, hospital visitations of our leaders should not become leading media issues or attract disrespectful comments, just as the current circumstances of former President Mandela and other African leaders in similar situations, and even those who died, have not attracted negative comments from their people.
“While urging a more charitable disposition towards one another as our brothers’ keepers, we wish to express our appreciation for the sincere interests of those who have shown genuine concern through their enquiries.
“The First Lady is expected back within the next week.”
It will be recalled that this same Ayo Oshinlu lied to Nigerians last year about the health of the First Lady, until the latter owned up owned up when she held a thanksgiving service at the Aso Rock Chapel, that she was actually sick and died for seven days. She said:
“I actually died.
“I passed out for more than a week.
“My intestine and tummy were opened.
“I am not Lazarus but my experience was similar to his own.
“My doctors said all hope was lost.
“A black doctor in London, who is with us in this service was flown in when the situation became critical.
“It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I would return to Nigeria.
“God woke me up after seven days.
“I know that some people somehow leaked the information that I was dead.
“They are people that I trust and rely on.
“To them, I was dead and I would never return to the country alive.
“Some of them even sold my things off.
“I won’t say everything here.
“It is the Lord’s doing that I returned alive.
“When God says yes, nobody can say no.
“People are always afraid of operation (surgery) but in my own case, while my travail lasted, I was begging for it (surgery) after the third operation because I was going to the theatre every day.
“It was God who saw me through.
“I did eight or nine operations within one month.
“It was not an easy one.
“This kind God, I have never seen Him before.”
