Nigeria-President Goodluck Jonathan has made a surprised appearance at the Hilton Hotel Parklane London, venue of the International Investors conference, where his ill health forced him to stay away on Thursday.

According to report, President Jonathan who arrived at the second floor venue of the event at exactly 9:30, London time was in company of the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Senator Dalhatu Tafida and the Minister of State Foreign Affairs, Nurudeen.

He apologized to members of the council for his inability to attend the conference on Thursday, blaming it on his ill health but added that he was strong enough to be in attendance at Fridays’ session.

Jonathan did not display any sign of weakness as he shook hands with members of the council and the Coordinator, Baroness Lynda Chalker before he took his seat after the national anthem.
