Malam Nasir Elrufai, the former minister of the FCT
and now CPC Chieftain who was a recipient of President Jonathan's sympathy when
he lost his daughter last year has turned around to pay the President back in
evil coin by mocking his wife's return and spreading lies about the First Lady.
In a note he put on his Facebook page, Elrufai circulated
claims that the First Lady completely ignored thousands of PDP women well-wishers
who had trooped to the airport to welcome the First Lady. The note claimed that
"Mrs. Jonathan was eased into the official vehicle from the plane. She could
not wave, acknowledge, or address the hundreds of well-wishers waiting for
her".
But, the First Lady was shown on television waving
to well-wishers and acknowledging greetings. She also gave an interview to
newsmen. Read Elrufai's Facebook blast after the cut

PDP women grumble as Patience Jonathan arrives
Nigeria
Sani Tukur
Vehicular movement in and out of the airport was
blocked for the first lady’s arrival.
The First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has finally
arrived Nigeria after about seven weeks of treatment in a German hospital.
Mrs. Jonathan’s plane arrived at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport at about 4.00p.m.
Before Mrs. Jonathan’s arrival, all roads leading in
and out of the Airport were temporarily closed to vehicular movement. Vehicles
were only allowed to enter and leave the airport after Mrs. Jonathan’s convoy
had left the airport. Vehicles coming into the airport were allowed 10 minutes
after the first lady’s convoy left, while those leaving the airport were made
to wait longer until about 20 minutes after the convoy left the airport.
Hundreds of women members of the Peoples Democratic
Party arrived the airport, some over four hours before Mrs. Jonathan’s arrival,
to welcome the first lady. Several other officials of the party were also
present.
The well-wishers had arrived in over 20 luxurious
buses which were parked at the presidential exit of the airport. The buses
belonged to the Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company and ABC transport, with many
having banners to welcome the first lady.
Disappointed women
Many of the women who had trooped out to welcome
Mrs. Jonathan were disappointed when they realised they would not see her at
the airport.
Mrs. Jonathan was eased into the official vehicle
from the plane. She neither waved, acknowledged, nor addressed the hundreds of
well-wishers waiting for her. No reason has been given for the first lady’s
action.
The welcome party included a large contingent from
Rivers State, Mrs. Jonathan’s state of origin. Some of the women were seen
grumbling quietly about their disappointment at the first lady’s action.
Pateince not sick
The presidency did not admit that the first lady was
sick. The only statement from the presidency on the first lady’s presence in a
German hospital was that she had gone to rest from a busy schedule.
Several news reports however indicated that Mrs.
Jonathan was flown to Germany for a serious ailment. Several ailments were
mentioned including food poisoning, while a source at the villa said the first
lady was diagnosed with ruptured appendicitis."
