There are very few powerful women in Nigeria today that can boast of
their closeness to almost every first lady that has occupied Aso Rock-
the nation's seat of power. Ilorin based business woman and socialite,
Hajiya Bola Shagaya enjoys that exclusive privilege. However, that
privilege is about to be withdrawn or already withdrawn if feelers
from the presidency is anything to go by.
Sources confirm that the wealthy woman is battling accusation of
complicity in the trip that earned first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan
admission in a German hospital. The accusers claimed Shagaya initiated
the idea of the foreign trip. The idea behind the sojourn was
reportedly for the first lady to 'undergo treatments to enhance her
look'.
Bola Shagaya And The First Lady, Patience Jonathan
Informants claim Shagaya had cashed in on Patience Jonathan's yearning
for 'a better look' to sell the plan. The first lady reportedly bought
the idea- and tagged those that opposed the move 'enemies of Shagaya
seeking to paint her black'.
The first lady reportedly suffered an infection that necessitated
comprehensive medical attention during preliminary tests to usher in
the 'beauty treatment proper'. This was in Dubai- where the original
development was that they would do a bit of 'shopping' and relaxation.
Inability of the 'health care personnel' on ground to manage the
'infection' put paid to their plot- and ultimately forced the First
Lady into the German hospital she is currently recuperating at.
Official sources had put out reasons of food poisoning and even
outright lie of a vacation by presidential spokesperson- Mr Reuben
Abatti to cover up 'true story'.
However behind the scene of these attempted public deceit- players in
the corridors of powers are said to be at daggers drawn, looking for a
scape goat to sacrifice for 'the whole mess' a source divulged. And
they appear to be roping in on one - Hajia Bola Shagaya.
Talks of her involvement in the ill fated beauty surgery that cost
late first lady Stella Obasanjo her life has started making the
rounds- along with coloration of other past misadventures.
In light of this development, President Jonathan is reported to have
instructed Aso Rock's CSO to withdraw Bola Shagaya's pass into the
villa and should only be allowed in with official clearance from his
office.
Meanwhile, Sahara Reporters has revealed plans by President Jonathan
to pay a closely guided trip to see his hospitalized wife in
Wiesbaden, Germany. According to the New York based online news
medium, Mr. Jonathan is taking off for official visits to Malawi and
Botswana, but our source said the president will fly secretly into
Germany from South Africa to visit his wife before returning to Abuja.
