[size=14pt]Nigeria leader unlikely to resume office immediately[/size]

ABUJA, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua has returned from Saudi Arabia but is unlikely to immediately resume office, a presidential adviser said on Wednesday.
"He is here, he landed this morning," Emmanuel Egbogah, presidential adviser on petroleum matters, told Reuters on the sidelines of an industry conference. Asked if Yar'Adua would immediately take over executive powers, he said: "Doubtful".

I say, he is unlikely to ever resume office.

Lets wait and see what happens at todays FEC meeting. Yar Adua will not be there.
Mamora (minority leader) has already told Gbenga Aruleba that fit people do not need ambulances. Now the govt and Nigerians can finally have full access to Yar Adua.

Not exactly sure why a man who does 25mins excersize every morning and runs up the stairs of King Faisal hospital needed an air and land ambulance to return to Nigeria.

Its a bit strange that all the FEC hawks are out of the country and Yar Adua returns? shocked
There are a lot of calculations and intrigue, plus there are reports that the Obama (sahara reporters) is behind Yar Adua's return, so that our issue's can be transparently resolved.
The US has gelled with Jonathan and sent a very powerful representation, just last week.

. . .We be watching.

the exco memebers are sitted and there is no presence of yaradua or jonathan, probably maybe the two are meeting on the way out of this logjam.'

Thinking about it again, the FEC meeting is unlikely to hold today. Matters sorrounding Yar Adua's exact state of health are more important, like you suggested, Jonathan is most likely with Yar Adua at this time (I doubt they are meeting though, a man who arrived in an ambulance isn't exactly meeting ready).

Live updates - Yar'Adua's return
Updates as they happen

1153 - Senate goes ahead to conclude debate amending section 145 of the constitution without any mention of President Yar’Adua’s return.

1135 - Jonathan is waiting, trying to avoid embarrassment by staying away and waiting for the president who is taking eternity to come out

1134 - Senate makes no reference to the president's return and continues session on amendment of Section 145 of the Nigerian constitution. However various groups are seen fervently huddling together during recess.

1131 - A security detail is guarding the president’s chair to ensure Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan does not sit on the chair.

♦One hour after the weekly cabinet meeting of ministers was supposed to have commenced, there is no sign that it would hold, as all the ministers have stayed away.

Neither the Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan nor his aides have also turned up. This is very unusual, as they (the Acting President and his aides) always keep to time in past meetings. Mr Jonathan had locked out some ministers from past meeting for lateness.

However, aides to the ailing President, Umaru Yar'Adua who returned to the country, early this morning were seen at the chambers. Mr Yar Adua's (Aide-de-Camp) ADC, Mustapha Onoedieva
and Chief security Officer Yusufu Tilde were seen at the council chambers for a while earlier today, but they also left.

No presidency official is willing to talk yet.

President Umaru Yar'Adua returned to Nigeria early this morning, and was carried from the airport in an ambulance. A terse report on Nigerian Television Authority this morning said he has been taken to a ‘clinic.'

I doubt Yarasick is capable of holding any meeting with anybody. Most likely Turai will be calling for meetings

But it will be a shame if any of Jonathan, David Mark and Bankole gives her an attention other than sympathy for her husband state of health.

There is no constitutional provision for the office of the 1st lady. So in the eye of the law, she is non existence and she should from now be treated so.
Re: Latest - Yar Adua Unlikely To Resume Office Soon by Nobody: 12:35pm On Feb 24, 2010
Turai just cant seem to keep her scabby paws out of Nigerian Politics/Treasury
Re: Latest - Yar Adua Unlikely To Resume Office Soon by OAM4J: 12:59pm On Feb 24, 2010

UPDATE

1220 - Secretary to the government of the federation, Yayale Ahmed, announces that the weekly federal executive council meeting has been postponed. [b]The Acting president will still meet with his cabinet in his office at 2pm [/b]but this will be a private meeting. No reference made to President Yar'Adua's health or return. He is not expected however to attend the meeting between Goodluck Jonathan and his cabinet.

FEC Meeting postponed!

Jonathan still Acting President!

Yar Adua is in no state to return. Game over.
Re: Latest - Yar Adua Unlikely To Resume Office Soon by ojimboIV: 1:21pm On Feb 24, 2010
right from the word go, yar'adua was not fit to rule. now add multiple organ failure, bucket-loads of steroids, days in coma, 3-month absence, unconfirmed reports of brain-damage/death, ah ah! the list goes on. his brand is DAMAGED beyond jankara restoration. whoever is handling him and tossing him about, STOP this madness.
