A new twist emerged last night over the ‘continuous incarceration’ of the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan in Germany. National Mirror reliably learnt last night that the First Lady might not be suffering from either food poising or ruptured appendicitis as widely claimed after all. The Presidency source said that “the wife of the President might have gone for full body work that included tummy tuck in Germany.”
Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck”, according to Wikipedia, is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen more firm.
The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall.
This type of surgery is usually sought by patients with loose tissues after pregnancy or individuals with sagging after major weight loss.
A wife of a former president underwent similar medical treatment a few years ago.
The President is said to have been informed about the new twist and may have given his nod for a socialite and wife of a retired top military officer, who is a close confidant of the First Lady, to be questioned.
A source in the Presidency said the socialite woman, who is a confidant of Mrs. Jonathan, might be questioned over her role in the medical state of the First Lady.
“Mr. President is worried about the role of a friend of his wife in the whole health saga. The woman knows so much and she may be questioned on her role and involvement in the health status of the First Lady,” a source said.
The First Lady is currently recuperating in a German hospital, Horst Schmidt Klinik, in Wiesbaden.
The late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was treated for kidney ailment at the same hospital before he eventually died.
“All I can tell you is that Mrs. Jonathan undergone surgery and he is in a stable condition. She is out of medical danger,” a Presidency source told National Mirror yesterday.
The Presidency still kept mum on the nature of Mrs. Jonathan’s ill-health and whereabouts.
