[size=14pt]Yar’Adua to attend Jumat service [/size]
March 26, 2010 01:52AM

Politicians of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed anxiety over plans by loyalists to ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua to bring him to the Friday Jumat service today.

Party officials said it is disturbing that this is coming three days before the Senate begins the screening of ministerial nominees on Monday. They also question the choice of a religious occasion for Mr. Yar’Adua’s re-emergence in public.

One source said, “if the President would be coming out four months after his absence, it ought not to be at a religious event because that will send the wrong signal.”

Mr. Yar’Adua, a Muslim from Kastina State participated in the weekly Jumat service at the National Mosque located at the Central business district in Abuja until his illness kept him from public view.

The ailing President was flown out of the country on the 23rd of November 2009 to Saudi Arabia for a heart condition and has since been out of public view.

Last week, two national dailies claimed that plans were afoot for the ailing president to make a public outing this week.

Top presidency and PDP officials confirmed to NEXT last night, that the planned outing has being fixed for today’s Friday prayers.

“The idea is to achieve maximum political impact and a religious approval” a PDP official said last night.

The PDP chairman; Vincent Ogbulafor, the speaker; Dimeji Bankole and a few other officials were in a closed-door meeting regarding the development, and the mood at the meeting, a knowledgeable source told NEXT, was “celebratory and bubbling.”

The National Assembly, on the 9th of February, 2010 declared the Vice President Goodluck Jonathan as the Acting President based on the ‘Doctrine of Necessity’ because the ailing president failed to hand over the reins of power to his vice before his departure as recommend by the constitution.

After much outcry and protest from civil societies and series of litigations on the lacuna in the nation’s presidency, the ailing president was sneaked into the country in the early hours of 26th of February, 2010, days after his Vice was declared the Acting President

The Acting President dissolved the Cabinet of ministers appointed by the ailing President last week and had just sent a list of Ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening. Mr Yar’Adua’s return to public life could cause uncertainty in the polity.

will he brought in on a wheel chair? or a stretcher.

They will probably bring a box nobody can see into and claim it is Yar Adua. Demons!

They will "bring" him? It seems like yar'adua is now a lifeless object cant decide for himself whether to attend service or not.

ABeg i am tired of hearing all these things,
Dont this pple ever get tired.

Nigerians must stand up to tear down this Satanic cabal and Jonathan must equip himself with some military muscle fast!

Islamic version of Atmosphere for Miracles!!

@Mbulela, you lie! The dummy you sold is for those miracle mongers. Miracles have no place in Islam; anyone carrying out a miracle under the banner of Islam is scamming the gullible folks.  Muslims believe that the power of Almighty God is absolute and beyond human comprehension.  Once He wills an action, He only commands it to "Be" and the action will be decreed into existence.

get long nigerians,
yar adua and jonathan re all disgrace to our country,
who appointed yar adua and jonathan? obj,it was all obj plan to divert our intention about his greedy and looting of nigeria treasury,
na today yansh dey for back,get over it 9ja 2011 lets the people vote for their choice, vote out all those criminals in aso rock and put fresh young blood graduate and see if there will be change or not.

Though i'm optimstic the story of Yar'adua attending Juma'at prayers is a total lie, why choosen Mosque for first public appearance?? If the story is axiom the senate should steadpast and hmpeach him.

This is superstory,

Another fiery tale!

Eh Eh We dEy WAIT OH . Our Eyes Open For Ground WELL

This drama no go end?

Acid rain will fall and they will say that was why he could not attend the service; useless people.

it is a distraction

why do you always tag jonathan as a saint.yaradua,jonathan and pdp are all ROGUES.@topic--lets wait and see

@abumaryam better don't say something here that will get you stoned to death at home.

@, honestly there're so many funny things going on in Nigeria that i'm beginning to understand we're treated badly outside our shores. We're complete joke to people looking at us from the outside.

Nigeria is greater than anybody wether living or dead; strong or weak; able or disable; healthy or sick, period.

deady body wan go jumat

what is wrong with nigeria? is yara'dua cloned? this comedy what part re we now? lord have mercy on nigeria

Yaradua has been cloned.

I very much doubt that this will be the case.

The Nigerian press should be careful in reporting these stories, because the more they turn out to be untrue the more readers they lose and reputation.

But if this story is true Nigeria will be in real danger ?

God help us all.

It is going to be sealed to the public, just as his whereabouts have been private so would this, cos he doesnt exist

He is going to see his people first because he is the president of muslims not a president of NIGERIA.

I hope the power supply in and around Abuja will not fail this time.!

yeah right, they will be bringing him on a wheelchair tied to a life machine,  

It seems like these politicians have all lost their marbles. A President missing for months due to illness should firstl have a televised address the citizen of his country informing them of his return, this people are taking the bloody liberty,

or is it the newspaper making up false stories, if they are, they should be investigated by the press complaints authority for making up false stories and should be fined or punish accordingly.

Quarantine! Quarantine! Quarantine!
