The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, returned home last night from a foreign trip.
She arrived the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,Abuja, accompanied by her children and aides.
A report on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) showed Mrs. Jonathan returning to the country.
She was received at the presidential wing of the airport by the wife of the Vice President, Haji Amina Sambo, and some female ministers.
The latest foreign trip came not long after a prolonged one to Germany, which triggered anxiety in the country over her health.
During her thanksgiving service in February, she had said that she underwent nine surgeries and was dead for seven days.
According to her, it was the grace and mercies of God that revived her.
While there was no official statement yesterday concerning her return to the country after leaving in March, her Special Assistant on Media, Ayo Osinlu, had explained to Nigerians early in the week that the First Lady was hale and sound.
He said: “Our attention has been attracted by some curiosity in a cross section of the public, and particularly by speculations in the media about the movement recently of Her Excellency, the First Lady, Dame (Dr.) Patience Goodluck Jonathan.
“For the avoidance of doubts and ambiguities, we wish to state that Her Excellency had travelled to participate in the 1st Green Women Conference, which took place in Paris, France, on March 17, 2013, where she received the Global Women Leaders’ Award for Peace, 2013.
“Thereafter, the First Lady proceeded to Germany where her foster mother, Mama Sisi, is currently receiving medical attention. It was in her normal plan to spend some time overseeing the management of the foster mother’s condition.
“The First Lady also decided to seize the opportunity to spend some quality time in the company of her holidaying children, before they return to school.”

Well she is just under the heat of the husband’s status and their ostentatious life style,which is highly unbecoming. Else there is nothing about a first lady traveling abroad as private citizens do same.
