There were strong indications on Sunday that the Presidency had imported two life support machines for use by ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua, preparatory, apparently, to his planned return later this week.

A very reliable source in the aviation sector disclosed to our correspondents that the equipment arrived in the country from Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The source, who declined to be named due to the security implication of his disclosure, explained that one of the machines was for dialysis while the other would be for managing Yar’Adua’s heart-related condition.

Our correspondents gathered that the machines were as big as those of Coca Cola vending machines.

According to him, the arrival of the machines came exactly two days after two of the President’s children (a male and a female) and a grand child arrived from Saudi Arabia in a smaller chartered aircraft.

Investigations revealed on Sunday that the children that arrived on the special flight on Thursday night were Musa and his sister Nafisat who is married to the Bauchi State governor, Alhaji Isa Yuguda. The President’s grandchild that was also on the flight is said to be Nafisat’s baby.

Yar’Adua has seven children from Turai (five females and two males) and two from his second wife, Hauwa.

It was gathered that the charter services aircraft which brought the President’s family could not bring the life-support equipment as planned, due to the huge size of the expensive machines.

Our source said, “A bigger aircraft had to be arranged to fly the machines to Nigeria because the one that brought the children back to Nigeria was small.”

The small aircraft, our correspondents learnt, belongs to a foreign airline that has a Nigerian as its chairman.

Pls help ask Yar'adua if he must hold on to power

What sort of human beings are we stuck with; how did we get here?? ah ah!!

Yaradua is going to be one of the sickest president in Nigeria's history, I tell you.

What sort of human beings are we stuck with; how did we get here?? ah ah!!

Nobody stood-up or was on the street protesting when Mr Obasanjo was selecting this man for Nigerians.

Yes, this is what a nation gets when they refuse to speak-up and fight for their future!

Who is paying for all these chartered aircrafts?

won't these machines need electricity to function? Watch when the generators fail them and they will be regretting the way they have refused to fix the power situation in the country.

I don't normally wish people evil but in this case i think Nigeria is better off without Yar'Adua. But really, if this guy continues from where he stopped, then our law-makers deserve to be hanged.

Our senators are not honest with us, i can't blame yar'adua. The bunch senile senators are the perpetrators of injustice in this country. May God deliver this country.

Na wa o!

The life support machines will not prevent the inevitable.

Yar 'Adua will eventually give up the ghost sooner than later due to complications of his severe ailment Churg Strauss Syndrome. What will snuff him out are myocarditis ( pericarditis ) and myocardial infarction. He is simply living on borrowed time.

I was expecting this.When the news broke out that the FEC has 14 days,I never saw any hope.I referred to it as the 14 days of making or marring Nigeria.These people don't care because as long as their pockets are full,Nigeria is okay.
