Jonathan falls ill in London on november 21, 201 in news ABUJA (AFP) – Nigeria’s President Goodluck
Jonathan received unplanned medical treatment in
London on Thursday after he “became indisposed”
and was forced to miss a scheduled meeting, his
spokesman said. “In the course of his ongoing visit to London for a
meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investors’
Council, President Goodluck Jonathan became
indisposed and could not be present at the opening of
the meeting today,” said Reuben Abati. “President Jonathan has since been examined by
competent medical practitioners. He has been
advised to rest for a few days.” Abati added in an emailed statement that the
president’s condition was “nothing serious and that
the medical attention he has sought is only
precautionary”. Jonathan, who turned 56 on Wednesday, is not
publicly known to be suffering from any serious
medical conditions. He assumed the presidency in 2010 following the
death of his predecessor Musa Yar’Adua. Yar’Adua’s protracted illness, details of which were
kept from the public, sparked a months-long political
crisis in Africa’s most populous country. Facebook Share Twitter Share
