The
wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has not been seen in
public since President Goodluck Jonathan lost the March 28 presidential
election to Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives
Congress. The President conceded defeat and called Buhari on the
telephone when it became clear from the results released by the
Independent National Electoral Commission that he had lost his
re-election bid. Some dignitaries including serving and former government officials had visited Jonathan to commend him for conceding defeat and solidarise with him on his loss. One of the visitors had told Punch correspondent that Mrs. Jonathan also received visitors inside the President’s official residence same day. But since then, the President’s wife had not been seen in public. She did not attend the Good Friday service held inside the Aso Villa Chapel with her husband neither did she attend the Easter Sunday service inside the same chapel. Mrs. Jonathan and the President’s mother, Eunice, had always been accompanying Jonathan to such services.
