Residents of Bayelsa State, particularly the top government officials have organised prayer warriors to pray for the President’s wife, Mrs. Patience Jonathan who had been flown to a German hospital for the past three weeks for medical treatment.
Besides, President Goodluck Jonathan’s
residence in Otuoke, Bayelsa State had been receiving visitors who go there to
sympathise with the President’s family on the health status of the First Lady.
The State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Mackson Fafegba, who spoke with reporters in Yenagoa, said the prayer was important not because Mrs. Jonathan married their son and she is the first Lady, but because she doubles as a Permanent Secretary in the State.
“We are praying for her quick recovery, and we know very soon, we are going to a hear good news about her health. She is also a mother to us and to all Nigerians. I am not expecting only Bayelsa people to be praying on her behalf, but all Nigerians, because she is serving the nation”.
