News from Saudi Arabia-A blog on Yar'adua's condition

I just woke up to read this idiotic piece dished out to Nigerians. First, let me say, that beyond all reasonable doubt that if the diagnosis and the muddled up information dished out by the demons in PDP are true, then Mr. Yar'dua is not coming back to Nigeria, at least NOT on his feet.

Please do not get me wrong, do not mistake my take as being cold hearted or see me as a woman without African compassion in her. In fact I feel all these because I was once in the shoes of Mrs Yar'dua. Not that my own man had his kind of influence or money, but I loved him with all my heart all the same.

OK, look at this, the man is not able to speak or he is inaudible if he does. No mam/sir, the man cannot speak at all. The man is on a ventilator, he is intubated to secure the airway because someone did not have the presence of mind to intubate him, secure his airway, hyperventilate him en route to Saudi Arabia, so he SUFFERED ANOXIC NEURO DAMAGE. It takes only 3mins and at best 5 mins for any one to suffer irreversible brain damage without oxygen. So, his fool of a doctor putting him on oxygen via nasal cannula will only give the man nose bleed without making much difference. . Doctors flown in from Germany and America will not make a difference.

Prominent Nigerians call on Yar'adua to resign!

Eminent Nigerians today in a press statement asked Umaru Yar’Adua to “immediately and unconditionally hand over to the Vice-President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan to complete the current term of office.” As Acting President, said the 55 signatories who emanate from all over Nigeria, Jonathan should then conduct the next general elections on the basis of the report of the electoral reform committee headed by Justice Mohammed Lawal Uwais.

In the statement, which was made public only a short while ago, the concerned Nigerians offered Yar’Adua the option of resigning his office immediately, arguing that his poor health “has created a dangerous situation whereby no one is in charge of the affairs of the State contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution.”

On the other hand, they said that if Yar’Adua is confident of his current health, he should “request the Federal Executive Council to pass a resolution pursuant to Section 144 (1) of the Constitution to the effect that the President appears incapable of discharging the functions of his office.”

They said such an “honorable step” would enable the Senate President to appoint a Medical Panel to confirm the fitness or otherwise of Yar’Adua to continue in office.”

Sympathizing with Yar’Adua’s condition, the signatories said his health should be given priority attention, but stressed that the need to provide effective governance for this nation of over 150 million people cannot be compromised.

Yar’Adua’s health: “Don’t step down!” Turai advises him

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.
