FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo publicly spoke yesterday on the health and absence of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua from office, with an admonition to the ailing Nigerian leader to tread the path of honour on the matter. He also defended his support and preference for Yar'Adua as his successor.

At the National Assembly, the two chambers of the legislature, were also upbeat on the Yar'Adua saga. While the Senate resolved to take its final decision on the controversy trailing the continued absence of the President on Tuesday after it was briefed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Alhaji Yayale Ahmed on the leader's health conditions, the Lower House raised a six-man panel to travel to Saudi Arabia to meet Yar'Adua.

In Lagos, human rights activists under the umbrella of Save Nigeria Group, stormed Alausa, Ikeja, the seat of power to protest the continued absence of Yar'Adua from the country. The President has been away abroad since November 23 to treat his dignosed acute pericarditis - and inflamation of the heart lining

The rally started from the Government Reserved Area (GRA), Ikeja to the State Secretariat in Alausa. The courts were almost deserted as most lawyers abandoned the courtrooms to participate in the rally.

And falling short of joining in the clamour for Yar'Adua's resignation, Obasanjo said: "If you take up an appointment, or a job, elected, appointed or whatever and then your health starts failing you, and you will not be able to satisfy yourself and the people you are supposed to serve, then, there is a part of honour and a part of morality and if you don't do that, I do not need to say more than that."

Obasanjo's comments came during the question and answer session of the seventh yearly Trust Dialogue organised by the Abuja-based Media Trust Limited, which he chaired. The response was triggered by a question asked by one Buhari Bello Jese, who accused the former President of being the architect of the current constitutional crisis in the nation.
