I see some of u are also very uptodate.

My greatest fears have now been confirmed, because by virtue of S27 of the new electoral act, INEC may postpone elections if a flag bearer dies before the election and do u know the funny thing? this was an amendment inserted in the heat of third term debate. So thru the back door OBJ has gotten what he wanted all along?

I still hold out hope that obj will not have the liver to try it. Naija is a terrible country, we must fear these politicians.

A poser as i leave, was this the plan all along? if it was, people we need to come together to escort obj out of power come may 29th.

The ruling party candidate for Nigeria's crucial presidential elections is undergoing medical consultations related to a kidney ailment, party officials said Tuesday.

Katsina Governor Umar Yar'Adua, of the People's Democratic Party, is "with his doctors" because of a kidney complaint, said a party official, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing prohibitions on dealing with the media.

A statement issued by the party that gave no specifics on the state of Yar'Adua's health said he had met with doctors, and indicated he had left the country.

"A decision was subsequently taken today that the process of medical investigation could benefit from facilities overseas," it said.

"Accordingly, Governor Yar'Adua is expected to be briefly away for the completion of a medical process which began today in Nigeria. There is no cause for alarm," it said.

Yar'Adua, age 56, had previously disclosed a kidney ailment, raising questions in the Nigerian media over his fitness -- an issue he sought to dispel by publicly challenging any doubters to a squash match.

As the nominee for president from the powerful ruling party, Yar'Adua is a presumptive front-runner in the April poll meant to give Nigeria its first-ever chance at a successful civilian-to-civilian transfer of power.

President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is barred from running again by constitutional term limits his supporters tried to overturn, won 1999 elections that ended years of military rule. He won re-election in a 2003 vote the opposition said was rigged.

With little democratic tradition, Yar'Adua's elimination from the race could cause potentially dangerous jockeying by members of Nigeria's political elite, many of whom are involved in the country's oil industry -- Africa's largest.

There have already been political-related killings in the campaign, and crime and militancy is on the rise in the southern oil regions before the vote.

Obasanjo's vice president and one-time ally before a falling out over the attempted term extension, Atiku Abubakar, is also competing to head up Africa's most-populous nation.

But he is embroiled in corruption allegations that could potentially derail his candidacy. He maintains his innocence, calling the accusations politically based.

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a former military leader, is also considered a top candidate in the April 21 vote.

With 140 million people, one in five sub-Saharan Africans are from Nigeria. It is the continent's biggest oil producer, but years of corrupt governance have left the country's people among the world's poorest. After a series of coups d'etat following Nigeria's independence from Britain in 1960, the April vote is meant to cement civilian rule in Nigeria.

Please guys it has not come to that yet, OBJ will not have put Yaradua's life on the line just to remain in power. Elections will have to go on no matter what however if it is postponed by even a minute then the senate must impeach both Atiku and OBJ using PTDF scandal.

Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by Austincrow(m): 1:03pm On Mar 07, 2007
Is there no medical centre in the country, I thought Yaradua is a performance according to his political father (OBJ). He (Yaradua) suppose to have at least equip on the medical centre in his state to meet his medical needs (Innternnational Standard)
Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by shutmouth(m): 1:06pm On Mar 07, 2007
He was a teacher, lived ordinary man´s life, not like Atiku

Does it mean he can't still play Squash?

Sometimes the political class suffer the after effects of their looting.With Hospitals seriously underfunded,ailing pols have to be flown abroad and sometimes that might mean the difference btw life and death

Let's pray the story turns out to be a lie.

I would never make fun of one who is dead (assuming he finally dies). We are only custodians of our lives. We don't own it. So stop the ridicule.

Well,come to think of it.This guy is seriously ill and the whole country expecially the PDP family are taking this issue as a joke.I even read in one newspaper some months back that he was mentally ill but he denied it all just to be in the sit of a President.I think something should be done real fast b4 our so called future President 2 be collapses on a Presidential Seat if he eventually wins inthe April Polls

These people in power never cease to amaze me. Someone is sick, you start flying him up and down stressing him with presidential primaries. Marina today, port harcourt tomorrow, Ibadan the next , that's enough to wear anyone down. I honestly feel very sorry for the Yaradua family. This is the second son they're losing to the same cause , God help us!
Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by asoderock(m): 2:18pm On Mar 07, 2007
If Yar'adua dies, his family should hold OBJ responsible.
you know what i mean- For dragging this guy into a task that is well beyond him
Look at Yar'adua and you will see the picture of a man carrying a bag of sand.

If he is not dead yet, the only cure will be to releive him of the presidential candidacy.

They could get sued.

I guess Nairaland should do the same!
