Yesterday President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife flow out of Abuja supposedly to attend a peace summit in France. However, there have been indications that they left to undergo a health check in a German hospital.
Previously it had been reported that Goodluck and Patience Jonathan will stop over in Germany for a private visit on their way to Paris.
However, a reliable source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that the Jonathans will undergo tests and receive treatment in the same German hospital where Patience Jonathan spent several months in 2012.
The source added that the President had been feeling unwell since returning from a recent trip to London where he was hospitalized for a serious stomach-related ailment.
According to the source, plans were made for the Goodluck Jonathan to receive medical attention in Germany after he suddenly fell ill last weekend during a visit to Bayelsa. The sudden illness almost led to President Jonathan's emergency evacuation to Germany, the source added.
Patience Jonathan is also expected to receive follow-up medical treatment in the German hospital.
President is to attend a Summit on peace and security in Africa organized by the French government December 6 and 7 in Paris, but Jonathan's ability to make the trip will depend on the prognosis of his condition and the advice of the German doctors, the source said.
SaharaReporters' sources recalled that Jonathan has had recurring abdominal troubles in recent weeks. He is notorious as a heavy drinker of alcohol, especially strong spirits, says said the source.
Dr. Reuben Abati, the President’s special adviser on media, however, denied these allegations.
