President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua yesterday called key government officials, including Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan, on phone and spoke with them on key national issues, his Chief Economic Adviser, Mallam Tanimu Yakubu, informed THISDAY last night.Of paramount importance to him now, according to Yakubu, is the passage of the anti-terrorism bill which Yar’Adua forwarded to the National Assembly in October 2009.

The importance of the bill now is obviously highlighted by the recent alleged attempt by a Nigerian, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, to bomb an American airliner.
This incident has led to the blacklisting of Nigeria by the US authorities as a “country of interest” in its global war against terrorism.

I don't belive that Yar'Adua did anything. I don't believe that there was ever an anti-terroism bill. This is probably just a lie that they will try to use to get the U.S. to think that the govt. is serious about fighting terrorism or doing anything as a matter of fact. Since when did any of the people running Nigeria ever concern themselve with fighting terrorism?

OK>>> who are the Nigerians he spoke with

Let him come on Air and speak to the real Nigerians.
i honestly dont believe this story. Until i see him with my 2 korokoro eyes, i still stand by my belief that the guy is medically unfit to rule.

this topic is real funny. . . who are the Nigerians he spoke with? the lying politicians of course

as the day go by, nigeria grow in stupidity.
if there is anything worth regretting, it is being a nigerian.
can these embeciles give us the number with which the idiot called? where did he call from? are there no televissions over there? why did he choose few ppl against the over 150 million nigerians that have been asking questions?
those whose names were mentioned in relation to the so called telephone calls are the biggest idiots of our time.
who made them our eyes and ears? that stupid aboki shld make it a point of duty to call every nigerian on his or her phone.
how can someone without voice na d brain make a call?
we are nothing but a fraud in the name of a country.
may God punish obasanjo for imposing this idiot on nigeria. may the sufferings of poor nigerians who have been forved into slavery all over the world be their portion in this life and their lives to come.
if throughly thisday reported this, they are very stupid to even print such a nasty news and sale to the public just to please their paid masters.

If he is alive & well, what will it cost him to make 1 or 2mins broadcast to Nigerians?

I refused to be fooled.

Probably he spoke with my grand parents

This Tanimu Yakubu of a fool thinks he can sell this type of cheap talk abi?.

May thunder blast all of them away from the surface of this earth including the stubborn "president".

Guy how can someone on life support speak, you are not fooled they are only fooling themsleves

Hmm,
This strange fabulous stories confirms our fears that Yar'Adua may be dead or half dead else why can't a 2mins video record of his speech be played on air.

Joke: Are you sure they are not building another Yar' Adua abroad via plastic surgery and all this delay tactics

Big lie

Yar'adua actually sent a bill to the House of Reps on OCtober 12,2009. it was titled "A BILL FOR AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR MEASURES TO COMBAT TERRORISM"

it was read on the floor of the House on October 20, 2009 by the speaker

that embecile they call afam shld be quick to protect this new found joke.
yar adua spoke to a few nigerians.
no wonder nigerian movies are no longer making waves as the govt has taken over the movie industries.

NTA no fit go saudi to have an audience with the president? Yaradua can do better.

yaradull has been dead for 2 weeks. the politicians are taking you poor suckers for a ride

They will try every trick in the book. The same Kitchen Cabinet again, who are they fooling? It's rather too late now, talking after 44 days of absence without informing the country as provided in the constitution. That in itself amounts to contempt of the people which should be an impeachable offence.

God Punish all the politicians in Nigeria, they are all BIG fools and lairs, they will all perish in a day. idiots.

Why did he speak through the  Chief Economic Adviser instead of the minister of information. What has terrorism attempt has to do with the economic adviser?
How did the adviser knew he spoke with other officials.

I don't know y our leaders keeps telling lies upon lies without shame.
Will see the end of all these drama one day

This educated aboki thinks we are so stupid. He should play on national tv the transcript of the call

I use to respect thisday newspaper, but of late, they've proved that they are sycophant. or why did they not asked the adviser to provide them with the number he used to call.

this day newspaper is fast becoming a goverment propaganda mouthpiece, is it because one of them is working in aso rock, i cant believe the type of journalist being practice nowadays, full of garbage

Hmmm, the terrorism bill seems to pan out, but I wonder if it was targetted at Boko Haram and Kala-Kato style terrorists, or if it was to "rebrand" MEND? Na wa!

I am afraid that Nigerians have proven to be docile to a fault.

Re: which yar-adua?maybe its Shehu not Umaru?let dis political job-seekers stop deceivin Nigerians,dat is if there is anytin like 'NIGERIAN' because its obvious dat dat word is a word of convenience for us in d so called Nigeria. How do we explain a country without a president 4 more dan 40 days cos d north feel dey must rule for 8 yrs (unpunctuated), after al d south thru obj ruled 4 8 yrs,why cant shehu,sorry umaru speak 2 nigerians rather his ghost chose 2 speak to those who we all no are born liars.let us stop deceivin our ourselves dis nation is only 2gether because there is oil money 4m d south,if not dose sokoto muturus,katsina mafias,etc would 've long pushed us away,whether umaru speak or not,d people i pity is those of us 4m d south cos we are actually d problem to ourselves,but let every one know dat d acid test 4 dis nation is comin and comin very soon

I cnt believe that. if truly he talked den let us hear his voice

SHALOM

A president calling his people has become a news item. What a shame!!!
The demonic hands that have been holding Nigeria hostage will soon go limp.

I am sure it must be the trial version of his clone that called, Make dem air the recording make we hear.

Poor mrs IBB also 'spoke' to Vanguard Newspapers . 2 weeks later she was dead.
