Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan received
unplanned medical treatment in London on
Thursday after he “became indisposed” and was
forced to miss a scheduled meeting, his
spokesman said.
“In the course of his ongoing visit to London for a
meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International
Investors’ Council, President Goodluck Jonathan
became indisposed and could not be present at the
opening of the meeting today,” said Reuben Abati.
“President Jonathan has since been examined by
competent medical practitioners. He has been
advised to rest for a few days.”
Abati added in an emailed statement that the
president’s condition was “nothing serious and
that the medical attention he has sought is only
precautionary”.
Jonathan, who turned 56 on Wednesday, is not
publicly known to be suffering from any serious
medical conditions.
He assumed the presidency in 2010 following the
death of his predecessor Musa Yar’Adua.
Yar’Adua’s protracted illness, details of which
were kept from the public, sparked a months-long
political crisis in Africa’s most populous country.
