#BREAKING UPDATE: #Nigerian President Discharged from #London Hospital after Stomach ailment.

President Jonathan at the NYSE last month

Barely a day after his 56th birthday Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, has reportedly remained hospitalized at an undisclosed London hospital to which he was taken early today after complaining of chronic stomach pain.

“The President woke up to get ready for the business of the day only to complain of serious stomach pain”, one presidency source said.

The personal doctor to the President, Fortune Fibresima, reportedly administered some medicines but as the pain escalated, Mr. Jonathan was reportedly rushed to a hospital. Presidency officials hoped he would be released to participate at an Investor’s Council Meeting taking place at the Hilton Hotel in Central London, about five minutes from the InterContinental Hotel where the Nigerian president is lodged. The meeting is the objective of his visit.

We wish President Jonathan a speedy recovery. It's not easy to rule Nigeria. Meanwhile a former VP Atiku running for President in 2015 wished him a speedy recovery on twitter moments ago. I even replied as they were both Vice Presidents at one time.
