First Lady Dame
Patience Jonathan, is on her way back to Nigeria following the tragic
death of her mother in a car crash on Minday in Port Harcourt.
Reliable sources told our
correspondent in Abuja this morning that Patience and the entourage, who
were in Geneva on official assignment, are on their way back to the
country following the orders given by the distraught woman who could not
attend to scheduled engagements.
The news of the death of the
woman popularly known as her foster mother, Mrs. Iwarioba (Sisi), was
said to have been broken to her in Geneva by President Goodluck Jonathan
through the telephone yesterday.
Though it was not clear if
some of her close friends would be waiting to console with her at the
Presidential Wing of the Abuja Airport, but our correspondent gathered
that one of her aides had called to inform The Presidency that the
Presidential jet that coverage the entourage to Geneva is on its way
back to Abuja,
Mrs. Iwarioba was reported to
have died yesterday in a road crash at Elele in Rivers State. She was
on her way to neighbouring Bayelsa State. Her body was deposited at
the Kpaima Mortuary on Elechi Beach, Mile One, Diobu, Port Harcourt, the
Rivers State capital, around 6 pm, by the self-acclaimed “Speaker” of Rivers House of Assembly, Evans Bipi, accompanied by many policemen.
