PETROLEUM MINISTER FLOWN ABROAD FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

Minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison -Madueke

A few days after breaking the news that President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience Jonathan, was hospitalized in Germany, Masquerade234 just learn t that Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s Minister for Petroleum Resources, is also receiving treatment in a London hospital for a serious medical condition.

Enquiries show that Mrs. Madueke’s condition is “potentially serious.” The source, who is a medical doctor, was only willing to divulge that the minister’s diagnosis is for a condition related to abnormal cell development in her body. The doctor declined to disclose if the diagnosis was a form of cancer, but said Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s condition “assumed a dire dimension recently.”

The medical source and another source close to the minister’s family told Masquerade234 that, prior to her recent hospitalization, Mrs. Alison-Madueke had made monthly medical trips to the UK. One source disclosed that she sometimes used private jets arranged by Kola Aluko, a business tycoon with whom she has business ties.

Masquerade234 is wondering if the work load of addressing issues bothering Nigeria is not too tedious to warrant all the breakdown, any way from all of us here we wish both the Minister and First lady speedy recovery.
