Nigerian frontrunner 'will stand'

Mr Yar'Adua says his check-up will only take a few days
Nigeria's ruling party presidential contender, Umaru Yar'Adua, 55, says he is well enough to run in April's polls.
Speaking to the BBC from Germany, where he was flown for a medical check-up, he scotched speculation that he was unfit to continue in the contest.

He said reports that he had collapsed and was rushed to hospital were "not true" and he would return home soon.

Mr Yar'Adua has been the frontrunner to win the elections and has previously suffered from a kidney illness.

The BBC's Alex Last says there has been increasing speculation that he could be replaced as the People Democratic Party's candidate.

He declared his candidacy after being backed by President Olusegun Obasanjo - who steps down in April after eight years in power.

'Only human'

Mr Yar'Adua said he had suffered from breathlessness and had taken his doctor's advice to have a thorough medical check-up abroad.

There are speculations all the time since the year 2000 surrounding my health

Umaru Yar'Adua

"I am only human, as they are," he said about his critics.

"I don't think a human being has control over his health of ill health, life or death and therefore they should not create conclusions on any other human being," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

His transfer to Germany led to a spate of rumours in Nigeria about the state of his health and the possibility that he could be replaced.

Not least, our reporter says, because being president of a country like Nigeria is such a gruelling task and presidential elections are only a month away.

"There are speculations all the time since the year 2000 surrounding my health," Mr Yar'Adua said.

In January, he sought to quash rumours about his health, inviting his critics to a game of squash if they could play 12 straight sets.

A tall, thin, quietly-spoken man, Mr Yar'Adua was a relatively unknown northern Muslim governor before he won the governing party primaries with the backing of President Obasanjo.

As the governing party's candidate, with access to its money and power, he is widely considered to be the favourite to become Nigeria's next president in elections in April.

High drama

Political gossips have suggested a number of alternatives should Mr Yar'Adua be replaced as the PDP's candidate, our correspondent says.


Gen Babangida is being touted as an alternative PDP candidate

Among them is the immensely wealthy former military ruler, Gen Ibrahim Babangida.

There are two other strong contenders in the dramatic race for the presidency.

Nigeria's Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is standing for the opposition Action Congress.

But he is currently involved in a bitter feud with the president and is battling on several fronts in the courts to clear corruption allegations which could bar him from running.

The other main opposition leader is former military leader Gen Muhammadu Buhari, who became famous for his war on corruption in the 1980s.

Despite being quite popular, critics have questioned whether he has the money and political machinery needed to win a Nigerian election.

The polls should become the first transfer of power in Africa's most populous country from one elected leader to another since independence in 1960.

I read about Yar' adua's death on Business Day News paper earlier today. It was online so I am not sure if it'll be there iwe.

It was brief not developed. So I had to believe that it was true.

Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by BlackMamba(m): 5:51pm On Mar 07, 2007
May be 3rd term is not dead after all. Or is it IBB at his Maradonic best (special envoy to Gambia and all). And Atiku still insist that nothing can stop his march to Aso Rock. Stay tuned. This is gonna get interesting.
Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by spade: 5:59pm On Mar 07, 2007
You see?
Of all the potential Presidential candidates in PDP(eg. Odili, Duke) they chose that visionless, timid, puppet called Yar'Adua whose health is an issue. This is a plot to bring back IBB. He was being fought against by EFCC but now that Obasanjo is showing interest in him, The EFCC will definitely drop all allegations. Let them keep on messing with 140 million people .

That unpopular, uncharismatic Yar'Adua is definitely a daddy's boy who has no vision for Nigeria.
But I hope he recovers though undecided

By "visionless", I mean the fact that he never showed interest in the elections until OBJ picked him up. I never saw any of his posters before he was chosen. If he had a vision, he would have expressed it by campaigning before his "Dad"(Obasanjo) showed up.

That's exactly what I meant by visionless
Re: Yar'Adua Flown Abroad After Going Into Coma? by abdkabir(m): 6:55pm On Mar 07, 2007
Non proactive u might say but Slamming "visionless" is too pawaful grin

http://www.businessdayonline.com/?c=45&a=11761

it's no longer there. they've changed the story. This is what you have at the link now:

"Yar'Adua is not Dead!

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Musa Yar'Adua is hale and hearty, a statement from the party said today.

John Odey, National Publicity Secretatry of the party said in Abuja that Yar'Adua is in Germany for a routine medical check-up, dousing rumours making the round that Yar'Adua was dead.

Odey said Yar'Adua would soon return to join the campaign train of the party."

All the other major dailies dont have that news too. It's not on cnn, not on sky news.

For now, i think the news is false!

sad
sad
ITS A SAD DAY REALLY! cry
, BUT GOD RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN cool
WHETHER OR WHETHERNT !!!
I cannot particularly rejoice if a man dies , this man on his own has done no wrong to the masses, i guess his only sin is allowing himself to be used by the wolves, hawks & power mongers in government & politics. You cannot really blame him because man's lust for money & power is insatiable shocked. But come to think of it IF you were born into a rich & powerful family with 'OLD-MONEY', , that have wealth transcending generations, what will u do when the presidency of the largest black nation is offered to you?,
Everybody must die someday, but i still want to be convinced that HE HAS REALLY KAPUT!
, TO BE CONCLUDED,

Do you have conclusive proof? There's nothing on the internet for now and there are claims of the BBC interviewing him in Germany.
