'President Jonathan is not sick' - Presidency

Presidential spokesperson Reuben Abati has denied media reports that the
president, who left for Germany on Friday August 22nd, is sick and is in
Germany for medical checkup.
Abati said Jonathan traveled to Germany for a private visit and not because he
is sick. He said the false report is being peddled by a newspaper outfit owned
by a chieftain of an opposition party.
"Before leaving Nigeria, I issued a statement that the President will be
embarking on a private visit to Germany with a few of his aides. On
Saturday, I sent out a statement that the President spoke with the
Falconets on the telephone. I also sent out the video and audio of his
conversation with the players where he promised to stay awake and
watch the final match. The NTA and some other broadcasting stations
aired the video and audio. There are also photographs out there showing
the President when he was leaving Nigeria and when he was arriving
Germany. The President is hale and hearty. In fact, he is treating files in
his hotel room. Are these not enough proofs that Mr. President is not sick
as they want Nigerians to believe? It is important to note that the publisher
of the newspaper that has been writing this false report is a chieftain of an
opposition party who also have an ambition to be President." Abati said...
