Several diplomats at the 50th anniversary summit of the OAU in Addis Ababa have confirmed to SaharaReporters that the Nigerian president was too irate and inebriated to go and address the meeting yesterday.

Saharareporters had revealed yesterday the Mr. Jonathan failed to show up when it was his turn to address a summit African heads of states who met in Addis Ababa starting midweek.

Several sources told SaharaReporters that Mr. Jonathan was so infuriated over the outcome of an election by the Nigerian Governors's Forum that he drank himself to a stupor.

"Mr. President made several calls to Governor Godswill Akpabio rebuking him for allowing the elections to take place even when it was clear that the president's candidate Governor Jonahn Jang was likely to lose", says one of our sources.

The account of what led Jonathan's failure to deliver his speech contradicted an explanation offered by President Jonathan's spokesman, Reuben Abati.

Mr. Abati contacted several media organizations yesterday to claim that President Jonathan was engaged with a small meeting on "West Africa Infrastructure" at the time that he was supposed to give the speech.

One of sources indicated that Mr. Jonathan indeed had a problem with Diarrhoea, adding that the ailment was a direct result of the president's excessive drinking to the wee hours the night before.

A Nigerian who was present in the hall also disclosed that Mr. Jonathan look unsteady when he eventually returned for a photo-op with other African leaders.

Mr. Jonathan is known to have an intestinal disorder referred to as 'Amoebic Colitis'. Last February he underwent testing at the London Clinic on Harley Street to check up on the disease.

Clerverly: . Na wah! why now gods!!! Why Nigeria! Why Ijaw Man!!!

solomon111: what do you mean by "why an ijaw man"?
Is he not a Nigerian?
Did obasanjo a yoruba man do better when he was in power?
If an ijaw man whose resources sustain the nation, does not deserves the presidency,then who does?

Abagworo:

@bolded. That part is wrong in its entirety. Much of Nigeria's oil today is offshore and is on nobody's land but in the sea. The other oil is in the Niger Delta where Ijaw comprises one of the ethnic groups. Urhobo, Igbo, Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Etche, Kalabari, Oron, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Edo, Isoko, Ukwuani, Ibani, Ogba, Ndoni, Ogoni, Eleme, Okrika, Andoni and several other ethnic groups are in Nigeria's oil belt.

2ndly the oil belongs to Nigeria and not any of these ethnic groups.

ballabriggs: You say it is a lie, it sounds ridiculous innit? But these are the type of people ruling Nigeria, FACT! They are a shameless bunch of people. I pity Nigeria, it is a country being led by a drunk and the country moves just like a dunk man crossing third mainland bridge. Someone once told me say by 12 pm wey Jona go reach office those days for Bayelsa e go done high already. It is a fact, he is a chronic drinker.

Sahara reporters is trusted, once they give me gist I take it. It may not be entirely true, but it gives me an idea of what is possibly going on. They gave me Patience's gist, Yar'adua and Turai; and many more. Why I no go come believe them.

solomon111: If sahara reporters is where you get your 'credible and trusted' news from,then you must be an avid consumer of propaganda and concentrated BS.

ballabriggs:

I will rather take what Sahara Reporters gives me than eat from the lies Maku, Okupe and Abati where you feed daily. Which is more vile and disgusting?

Maku is a failed cattle rarer turned rent seeker. Okupe a fraudster, duped many people including Baba Iyabo who beat him up. Abati a product of a homo relationship according to Fani Kayode. Keep eating your skunk, we don't want.

omaigala: Kai! This is a real lie.

1. Why will he drink to stupor because of Amaechi's minute victory?

2. Why will he drink knowing how sensitive the AU meeting was?

Well I might be wrong though, but the above story doesn't seem to add up.

Symphony007: Since this whole debacle started, i've been a firm ameachi supporter, my post's prove that but i don't belive this "report". It flat out rubbish. It makes no sense whatsoever!

P/s: jonathan is still silly for fighting ameachi.

omaigala: Kai! This is a real lie.

1. Why will he drink to stupor because of Amaechi's minute victory?

2. Why will he drink knowing how sensitive the AU meeting was?

Well I might be wrong though, but the above story doesn't seem to add up.
