[Shola Sholaz]

The Presidency says President Goodluck Jonathan is fit and will return to Nigeria today.
.
Jonathan, on a trip to Britain, had, on Wednesday, taken ill thus unable to honour a meeting with British investors.
.
In a statement, yesterday, the Presidency said the president merely suffered abdominal pains that did not require surgery.
.
It dismissed the claim that the illness stemmed from Jonathan's 56th birthday bash in London, saying there was no such bash as the president marked the birthday quietly.
.
The statement thanked all Nigerians for showing concern over Jonathan's health.
.
"The Presidency also commends the generality of the mainstream media whose coverage of the President's slight health challenge in London was mostly factual, objective, fair-minded and supportive", the statement said.
