Lung Cancer And Churg
Strauss Syndrome, US Cables

Late Nigerian leader Umaru
Yar'adua
By SaharaReporters, New York
A deadly combination of lung
cancer and the auto-immune
disease, Churg Strauss
Syndrome, accounted for the
death of Umaru Yar’Adua in May
2010, according to a new
Wikileaks cable released by the
whistle-blower website.
The release of this information,
part of 251,287 cables on the
website of the whistleblower,
comes as his wife, the former
First Lady, Turai Yar’Adua, may
herself be terminally ill as well.
Turai returned from Saudi
Arabia last week and may be
headed for the United Kingdom
for medical care as she is she is
reported to be suffering from
ovarian cancer, the latest in a
series of calamities besetting
the political and biological
families of the late leader since
his death.
Wikileaks’ revelations about
Yar’Adua’s health issues tally
with SaharaReporters’ previous
exposés on his health, beginning
in 2007 when Mr. Yar’Adua
made a prolonged trip to
Germany in connection with his
failing health.
The new cable, which was
created in 2009 by US
Ambassador Robin Sanders,
identified Peter Galle, a German
doctor and the Director of
Internal Medicine at Universitats
Medizin in Mainz, a city where
Yar’Adua went for his last
medical trip in Germany, as
revealing that he diagnosed
Yar’Adua with terminal lung
cancer sometime in April 2008.
Dr. Galle was surprised that
Yar’Adua had survived longer
than expected. He also told US
officials that reports of other
ailments, such as Churg-Strauss
syndrome and liver problems,
were "accurate." This verifies
SaharaReporters revelations
that Yar’Adua had Churg Strauss
disease.
It was in October 2008 that
SaharaReporters revealed that
Yar’Adua had terminal lung
cancer in addition to Churg
Strauss. And on November 26,
2009, Yar’Adua's doctor, Barau
Banye disclosed that Yar’Adua
was suffering from "acute
pericarditis" but that said he had
responded "remarkably well" to
treatment. Yar’Adua was a chain
smoker and had continued
smoking after he was
diagnosed, according to a family
source. In April 2011, Yar’Adua's
first daughter, Maryam, lost a
contest for the Katsina Central
seat in the House of
Representatives. The seat was
previously occupied by her
husband, Badamosi Kabir, but he
has been in a London hospital
since January when he fell into a
diabetic coma. Yar’Adua's
brother, Lt. Colonel, Audu
Abdullazeez, popularly known as
"Audu Soja," also lost his election
in April as a deputy
gubernatorial candidate of the
Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC), in Katsina State.
On the political front:
• Yar’Adua’s key confidante,
former Delta State Governor
James Ibori, is in prison in the
United Kingdom awaiting trial
following his extradition from
Dubai, UAE to face money
laundering charges. Y
• Yar’Adua's former Attorney
General, Aondoakaa, is
marooned in his village in Benue
State after he was humiliated
out of office; banned by a judge
from running for public office;
stripped of his SAN title for two
years; and had his United States
visa revoked. Aondoakaa is now
a rice farmer in his village;
• The powerful former Chief
Economic Adviser to Yar’Adua,
Tanimu Kurfi, is virtually in
hiding, although he was sighted
recently in New York; and
• The former Principal
Presidential Secretary, Mr. David
Edevbie, is wanted in the United
Kingdom to answer criminal
charges.
The only Yar’Adua era appointee
still in government is Mrs. Farida
Waziri who enjoys protection
from Goodluck Jonathan's
powerful Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Diezani Allsion
Madueke. The oil minister is the
leader of the Jonathan cabal,
which consists of the National
Security Adviser, Owoeye Azazi;
the Inspector General of Police,
Hafiz Ringim; the Attorney
General, Mohammed Bello Adoke;
Nigerian’s aviation minister,
Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi , Prof.
Isoun Turner and Senator
Emmanuel Paulker of Bayelsa
state.

Sahara Reporters is really distasteful and disgusting. Do they understand that they are trying to make money from other peoples sorrow? Its just wicked and totally evil.
I have never been a fan of Turai, but I really hate it that anyone should gleefully speculate in the press that she has ovarian cancer. In folklore, such behaviour is reserved for witches and wizards.
There should be red lines, Turai has a family and friends who would be violated by such a wicked invasion of their privacy.

Where are the morals of our nation going?

Hiss and walks out.

Interesting

First the husband, now the wife is ill?
May she recover quick.

Beaf:

The same way they speculated about Umaru's health for years which later confirm to be true since the govt kept on deceiving us.
If truly Turai isnt feeling fine, i sincerely wish her a very Quick recovery. Sickness no good for body at all.

Aondoakaa is a rice farmer? hmm maybe I should stop eating rice for now

Beaf just like you and your rogue cohort gej are making blood money .at the expense of miserable and suffering nigerians. You are a shameless hypocrite.
