Today, Sunday 17th February 2013, Nigeria's First Lady, Patience Goodluck Jonathan opened up on her controversial medical trip last year. At a special thanksgiving service at the Aso Rock Chapel she said she “passed out for more than a week.” In her words:
“It was not an easy experience for me...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. My doctors said all hope was lost. It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I will return to Nigeria. God woke me up after seven days.”
She also added, that,
“It is the Lord’s doing that I returned alive,” she said. “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 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.”
And, she did not fail to point accusing fingers too, hear her:
“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.”
Concluding her testimony she said:
“It was not an easy one. The day I came back, I said God I have nothing to say, I offer myself to you. I will be doing things that will touch the lives of the less privilege. God gave me a second chance because I reached there. He knew I had not completed the assignments He gave me that was why I was sent back".
