The Ailing Nigerian President Ya'ardua
Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:55 pm
What's next for Nigeria?
Vanguard can now confirm that ailing President Umaru Yar'Adua has been moved from the ambulance from where he was clinically isolated since his sudden arrival last Wednesday, into the Presidential Wing of Aso Villa. Also, Acting President Goodluck Jonathan is set to see Yar'Adua this week, for the first time since he left for treatment in Saudi Arabia last November 23, Vanguard can reveal, authoritatively.
An Aso Rock source, who dropped the hint could, however, not provide much details of the expected meeting between the Acting President and the ailing President at press time. Asked whether it is true that Yar'Adua was being held for medical attention in the ambulance, the source declined to go further.
But, another competent source told our men that "Yar'Adua was eventually moved from inside the ambulance into the room." The source said whereas he could not confirm the time of the meeting between Jonathan and Yar'Adua, he could "confirm that Yar'Adua was moved into the room." Reps back Akunyili's utterances
The House of Representatives, yesterday, voted out a motion seeking to condemn recent utterances in the mass media attributed to the Minister of Information and Communication, Prof. Dora Akunyili, to indicate that it saw nothing wrong with her condemnation of a cabal, which she had kept saying, was lying about the health of President Umaru Yar'Adua.
However, after a two and half hour close-door session, the House came out with mild resolution, saying, "the House of Representatives, having reviewed the state of the nation resolved to concentrate only on those things that will encourage the peace, unity, stability and progress of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
Before then, a motion by Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, PDP, Edo, which sought to condemn the deployment of troops that received President Yar'Adua, last Wednesday, was stood down, amidst protest by members
