Nigeria's first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has not been seen in public since her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan lost his re-election bid.

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 had last Tuesday 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 our correspondent that Mrs. Jonathan also received visitors inside the President’s official residence same day.

“After meeting the President in the new Banquet Hall located within the premised of his office, I also visited the First Lady inside the President’s residence before leaving. She was in high spirit when I met her,” the former government official said.

But since then, the President’s wife had not been seen in public.
