Although medical doctors familiar with the condition of Nigeria's sickly leader, Umaru Yar'Adua, have said that he can no longer function fully, as his condition has deteriorated progressively, his wife and members of his kitchen cabinet have refused to let him step down.Yesterday, Yar'Adua's personal physician, Dr. Barau Banye, revealed that he has a heart condition, a condition said to be"Acute Pericarditis." It was diagnosed in Saudi Arabia, to where he had been evacuated on Monday after he complained of chest pains. Subsequently, his spokespersons were quick to claim that he was "responding to treatment".
Saharareporters has learnt, however, that his medical doctor and spokespersons still did not reveal the whole truth about Yar'Adua's health
condition, principally because they would love for him to return to power even in his terrible shape. Also Yar'Adua’s handlers have run out of lies and excuses to explain away his inability to preside over the affairs of Nigeria. Yar'adua, they told Saharareporters, is fighting a losing battle against several organ failures in his body.
