Barring last minute change of
mind, President Umaru Yar’Adua
might be taken to his doctors in
Germany for further medical
attention, following pressure by
relations and assoiciates.
Also, there were signals yesterday
that loyalists of the President
have been reaching out to the
Acting President, Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan to secure the President
slot in case the President finds it
difficult to fully return to work.
After a 93-day treatment in King
Faisal Specialist Hospital , Jeddah,
the President returned to Nigeria
on Wednesday.
But he has not been seen in
public, fuelling speculations that
his health might have
deteriorated.
Also neither the Acting President
nor any of the 42 Ministers had
access to the President. It was
gathered that the condition of
the President has become a
source of concern to his relations
and associates.
Investigation by The Nation
revealed that these relations and
associates have been discussing
with the First Lady, Hajiya Turai
Yar’Adua on the need to take
him to Germany for a ‘second
opinion’ on his present condition.
But another group is suggesting
that the president should be
moved to Katsina, his ancestral
home.
Prior to his choice of Saudi Arabia
for treatment in 2008, Yar’Adua
had been treated in Germany ,
where he had undergone a
kidney transplant some years ago
A highly-placed source, who
spoke in confidence, said the
relations came up with Germany
option following ‘low response of
the President to the treatment.’
The source said: "The initial plan
is to take Yar’Adua to Katsina but
many people are kicking against
it.
"These relations, friends and
associates have opened up to the
First Lady to forget about
Yar’Adua’s stake in the power
corridor. They have suggested the
return of the President to the
German hospital which has his
medical records.
"The concern of this group of
people is that the health of the
President should come first above
any other thing. "I think Turai
and members of the Yar’Adua
family are weighing that option. If
it is acceptable to them, the
President might go back to
Germany for recuperation.
"I cannot tell you when the
German trip will hold."
Asked of the response of the First
Lady to the German option, the
source quoted Turai as saying, "I
am ready to give my husband the
best treatment anywhere in the
world to make him recover."

That is if the Europeans will allow him to enter in the first place. The secrecy surrounding the state of Yar'adua health was a bad move right from day one.

stop confusing people of nigeria. waiting to say bye, the best president.
Nigeria would not wait for this cat and mouse.for how long would you keep secret

. . . and after the German treatment, wht next?. . . a chinese hospital?

I just laugh. D end is near!

He will come back from Germany like Yasser Arafat,

safeact:

I just laugh. D end is near!

Certainly it is very[b] NEAR[/b]

Nigeria is a banana republic where strange things happen.Under Yar'adua,Nigeria had experienced indecorous presidency.The president was stole back into the country like a thief in the night.He'll also be burgled out of the country in the dead of the night avoiding media coverage therefore preventing the invocation of section 144 on Yar'adua since his health status won't have bn determined.Let him be outrightly impeached.If Turai and his family love the man,they should have persuaded him to do the honourable thing b4 his health got worse like this.Nigerians have been patient enough.Democrazy must not be truncated otherwise history will not forgive all the collaborators and perpetrator of this mess.

lol, i heard he is goin to TB Joshua for healing, Turaya is in panic mode right now, lol, maybe i can introduce her to one very powerful BabaLawo,

Even though I can't say the exact state of health of the president or even his state of life, I feel that within the 3 months that Yar'Adua had been critically ill, one of the specialist hospitals could have been funded and upgraded to reach the standard that would be adequate to invite the President's doctors from wherever in the world they were. $1 billion is not too much to spend on a section in a specialist hospital which will look after Nigerian Presidents' lives now and in the future, then even go ahead to research other areas in medicine.


For God sake, if we can have banks among the top 500 in the world, Universities among the top 500 in the world, why can't we have just a single specialist hospital among the top 20 in the world when we claim we want to be among the top 20 countries in the world by 2020?


The King Faisal Specialist Hospital which Yar'Adua went in Saudi is meant for The Saudi King in critical situations. Tomorrow he will go to Councillor Schroeder Medical Centre in Germany next year, it will be Jimmy Carter Intensive Healthcare Centre. So if Jonathan falls ill too, he will have to go to Jacques Chirac Centre Des Recherches Medicines.
