The on-going scramble for positions in a soon to be reconstituted Federal cabinet could shortly hit a brick wall because President Umaru Yar’adua intends to resume duties in his office next week, a top source close to the ailing president told Daily Trust yesterday. However, another family source separately told Daily Trust that Yar’adua will be fit to resume work by the end of next month.

According to the top sources, Yar’adua intends to make a national radio and television broadcast to signal his resumption of work as early as Monday or Wednesday next week. They said Yar’adua may not write a letter to the National Assembly intimating it of his return because he did not transmit a letter before he proceeded on medical vacation, even though his spokesman later said Yar’adua recognised Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as the Acting President.

Both sources said Yar’adua has made much progress physically since his return to the country late last month, and that his remaining medical problem now is speech-related. The sources said the ailing president now walks around the house and also around the garden, where there are many birds and animals.

They said Yar’adua brought a speech therapist with him from the Saudi Arabian hospital and the doctor has been working since then to improve his speech. Both sources said he has made progress in his speech. One of the sources told Daily Trust that Yar’adua’s return to the country last month was “premature,” and that he was brought back before he finished his therapy “for political reasons.”

In the last two weeks, Daily Trust learnt that Yar’adua received several visiting family members, close friends, some political associates, some state governors and also some personal staff, even though he has not yet met with Acting President Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience, however visited the residence and they met with Hajia Turai Yar’adua.

The sources said Yar’adua’s seclusion since his return to the country was ordered by the Saudi doctors because he suffered a severe infection while at the Saudi hospital when he received some visitors. The people who have been able to meet with him after his return, the sources said, were made to go through some disinfecting chambers before they were ushered into his presence. Those procedures have ended now, the sources said.

According to our sources, Yar’adua is not happy with the Acting President for sacking his aides, instituting a probe of his regime’s contract awards and dissolving his council of ministers. It is therefore likely that his resumption of work would severely upstage the on-going selection of new ministers by the Acting President.

Yar’adua first left the country for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia on November 21, last year and returned to the country after 93 days. While he was away, the National Assembly adopted a unanimous resolution in early February to recognise the Vice President as Acting President, despite Yar’adua’s failure to transmit a letter of medical vacation in line with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.

Since Yar’adua’s return to the country, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has continued to run the country and has carried out many far-reaching political measures, including dissolving the Federal cabinet last Wednesday.

For updating you?

For updating you?

we've been fed so many lies on this issue. . .and this appears to be one of them. . .just like all the 'stairs-climbing' and '25-minute exercising'

I doubt this story very much!

Is the man even in Nigeria? If Yes, who has actually seen him? The VP hasn't and Dora hasn't( even though she announced to the nation that he was back), so who has?

Next week? Jeez! Thought he's starting today. . .

Breaking News! Yar'Rotten returns to "work". . .in his grave!

That is the work of mischief makers. Daily trust my feet!

Daily trust, aljazeera, anything in common? .

The other time a so called nephew was on TV telling us how he has been drinking Kunu with the man, playing with the grandchildren in the forecourt and all sort of silly talks that will offend a rational sensbility.

These stupid people should just allow GJ to get focus because time is short and the workload cut out for him with the mess they created is huge.

Cabals still at work, wouldn't they be tired.

I didn't expect anyone to be surprised by this. . . this is same thing we hear almost every 4 days. . . C'mom

daily trust at it again.

bullocks.

Another blunder

If he is up and about, then he should report to the nearest police station for his arrest. Because of constitutional abuse.

It is a great pity that an evil (ex)cabal has turned Yar'Adua into a juju that they can brandish to scare Nigerians.

If the man needs to higher a speech therapist. He must have had a bad stroke. It takes a couple of years for anyone to recover from especially at his age.

Tha man is not coing back to power. If he tries it. he will die in the presidency,

Hausa and love for power whether in sickness and in coma,let hm do hs wish.

He can never return. Intelligence briefing that Jon gets on a daily basis would have confirmed that the man cannot return and that was why he was able to sum up courage to get rid of the ministers

The same Yaradua that spoke to BBC and couldn't speak to Nigerians on NTA?
some of these media houses ought to be struck by lightening and set ablaze by an act of God

If Yar'Adua has speech problems, let them explain the person who gave that radio interview on BBC Hausa service.

Rubbish Nigerian journalists!

"Daily Trust learnt that Yar’adua received several visiting family members, close friends, some political associates, some state governors and also some personal staff"

None of the visitors have names? Hoax joor.

curious naija for life

What's this then? Some aides of the sick man discussing - 'Kai, we are not getting any mention again in the papers. Let's put some story out there, see if it ruffles any feathers' ?

LWKMD. . .haaaa. . .Naija peeps. . .i hail una. . .IF you didn't Know. . . .know today. . .The "man" is resting peacefully. . . ._{I'm not quote from any radio - online - international media. . . .Blah Blah Blah}

If you do not believe me. . . .Just wait and see . . .The state ceremony in December/January will convince you.

Don't tell me Yara'sick is coming back.
Nòoooo
Nigeria will be moving slow again

Abi o

We are watching.

Nobody should loose sleep over his return. Let him return first then we start from there. If Jonathan had not sacked the FEC, Yaradua wouldnt be ''resuming to work by next week''. I believe this is just to throw a spanner in the wheel of progress this will make Jonathan scared I presume. Let him resume now. He failed to resume for up to 3 weeks since 'returning' to Nigeria and suddenly when his loyalist were thrown out, he suddenly wants to 'resume'. Nonsense
