My younger sister died of heart related ailment - Pres. Jonathan

The president made this known today while speaking at her funeral at Stephen’s Anglican Church, Otuoke, Bayelsa State that his late younger sister, Mrs Nancy Oleic-Jonathan, who died on Jan. 4th, died of heart related ailment.

"Nancy that died was my immediate younger sister, though we were not from the same mother. I was very sad when she died because I knew she has been passing through pains for a very long time. Sometimes I felt God has been really kind to her. She started developing problems with her heart when I was deputy governor, then I started asking questions. I asked my personal physician where do we treat her. My doctor told me that the nearest place to treat her was Ghana. So I said we have so many teaching hospitals in Nigeria and none can attempt to work on a human heart. I was worried. But today I am happy that University of Ibadan is handling open heart surgery. We thank God she was able to live above the golden age of 50,” Jonathan said.

Mrs Oleic-Jonathan was survived by a husband and six children. Above are pics from the burial
