Sick Yar’Adua Fails To Return Today

In apparent bid to put a spade to the circulation about the health of Mr. President, the Federal Government speaking through unnamed sources quoted by the Nigerian media, informed anxious Nigerians that President Yar’Adua who went on lesser Hajj is as fit as a fiddle and will return today to pick up the “ruins” of Nigerian leadership where he left it two weeks ago. At close of work today, Mr. Yar’Adua was nowhere to be found nor did any iron bird vomit him at the presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.
This lingering uncertainty about the whereabout of Mr. President has added fuel to the report by the Punch Newspaper of Saturday 30th August that he underwent surgery in a Saudi hospital and may not be back in Nigeria soon as the German doctors advice against speedy resumption of duty.
But sources in the presidency especially Olusegun Adeniyi, Special Assistance to the president on media and communication, a top member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), denies that Mr. President is sick.
Another informed source counters Adeniyi, John Odey (minister of information) position, claiming that indeed Mr. President is terminally sick and his failure to return today was based not on scientific examination but on the divination of a female marabout Mr. President has been consulting in Saudi Arabia.
The half truth by the presidency is not doing the country well, as government is grounded and this cat and mouse game is making Nigeria a laughing stock. The presidency should come out with a detailed report of the health condition of Mr. President and spare Nigerians the shame of not knowing where their number one citizen is.
Nigerians never expected a superman to rule them but a leader should be honest enough to bare his limitations to his followers.
When Mr. President declared his assets, Nigerian thought an honest Daniel has mounted the throne but the manner the true condition of his health is being whispered without official presidential seal, is showing that there is no difference between Yar’Adua and other power hungry looters of Nigeria.
It is these power hungry looters that are egging Mr. President on, in order to frustrate Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution. All those opposition parties clamoring for Interim Government, this is the opportunity to demand that the Subsections of Section 144 be complied with.

we dont get any benifit from this democratic(umar musa yar,adua),we get a very big problem about the all nigerian president,especially umar musa yar,adua.
It’s so sad that the No. 1 man of this our lovely country will tell lies on issues like this when the country is going down. I think we need to talk about his removal from office. I don’t understand why common electricity will not work with the number of potentials we have in this country. I can imagine how many businesses are now in the neighbouring countries because of the electricity issue. Why the monopoly with NEPA or PHCN? When are we going to start enjoying the benefit of being a blessed country like ours? Andrew don’t check out, is he going to die here where things are not done the right way? We need to call for a forun where solutions to the problem militating against the development of the youths of this great country will be discussed and actioned. How long are we going to be praying for? God has done His own part, I think it’s time for us to play our part. How I wish…
All im asking is lead us well
All im asking is lead us well and nothing will happen to mr president his well
