On Sunday during the special thanksgiving service organised by the Aso Villa Chapel to bid the first family farewell, first lady, Patience Jonathan revealed that 2 years ago she had 12 surgeries in one month.
She said, ''Just two years ago, I went through operations upon operations. Within one month, I passed through 12 operations. It is wonderful. Some people said I was dead but God resurrected me. During the campaign period, the devil struck again. In pains, I was rushed to a hospital in Germany and the doctors said I had to undergo a major operation.
''I said, again? The electioneering campaign was still going on and I wondered how we were going to explain it to Nigerians. You know, even when you go for a check-up, they will be writing all sorts of things in the papers. I said I and my family have to handle this. My husband will continue with his campaign until the last day. That was how I went in for the first major operation in January.
''And by God’s grace I went for the operation and came out. It was from that operation that I went to the campaign ground. Then they said I had to go for another major operation in a bigger hospital. I told them I would go. I said I have faith in God and my God will see me through. He has brought me out for a purpose. I called my pastor to continue praying for me. I said again, they wanted me to be a sacrifice, but I will never be. I went to the bigger hospital. I booked for the operation and I was asked to go for the campaign. They gave me a new date.
''I had paid for everything and what remained was for me to enter the theatre. Then something happened. The doctors said, let’s check her again. By then, my husband had lost the election. I had started packing out of the Villa. Behold! I went to four hospitals again and the thing vanished. My doctors were surprised. They never thought that could happen.”
