There has been palpable anxiety all over Nigeria in the last 24 hours over the health of Nigeria's sickly leader, Umaru Yar'Adua, who was admitted to the King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah on Monday after he was evacuated from Nigeria on medical emergency. It is his third medical trip in four months. The presidency always gives the impression that he is in the country for something else, although Nigerians now know better.
After Saharareporters broke the story of his latest medical evacuation two days ago, his office issued a statement admitting that he would be visiting his doctors in Jeddah.
Yar'adua suffers from a degenerative disease known as Churg Strauss syndrome. Saharareporters sources said Yar'Adua, who appears increasingly gaunt for a man who is not yet 60, was unconscious for about four hours last night, fueling widespread rumors that he had died in Saudi Arabia. Saharareporters received thousands of inquiries from readers, including government officials who claimed they had not heard from the "president".
Characteristically, Yar'Adua did not hand over to his vice, Jonathan Goodluck, a man he either fears, or holds in contempt, as he never hands the constitutional batton of power to him. In the corridors of power, the lackluster deputy is generally referred to as the "Social Prefect" because of his powerlessness and lack of influence in the presidency. Even the presentation of the 2010budget was done by Yar'Adua aides on Tuesday. His most powerful political performance this year was at the final match of the just-concluded Under-17 World Cup event in Abuja, where he represented Yar'Adua.

Well, we pray God to spear his life and give him a new begining in the area of his health.
ReplyDeleteHowever,who is to be blamed if not Okikiolu who handed a sick nation to a sick man!
God will heal them all,amen.
Fellow Nigerians, this is so embrassing that the president of a country known to be Giant of Africa( Ant of Africa Precisely) is sick not even just a sickness which everybody knows he has been suffering from (CSS) and he was been elected so bad for a country like us. More so over since his not dere by right his vice Jonathan should take over whether Yaradua hand over to his vice or not, he should replace his position. All i am say is Nigeria we should wake up from our sleep our government are playing with us and also our future. Who ever will read this comment please kindly digest it properly and let us know what to do to our country we are going backward instead of moving forward. WE NEED REVOLUTION.
