BREAKING NEWS: President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua is dead. I stumbled on this on a friend's facebook page and was bewildered, at first battling to believe because so much had trailed the man's health and government, but this is so true. This is fresh news coming out from Aso Rock (Presidential Villa) and Nigeria right now. Reports from THISDAY can confirm. He passed on earlier this night between 9.30 and 10pm (5th May 2010)
The president, as you can recall has been battling acute pericaditis, an inflammation of the membrane around the heart, since November last year for which he received treatment at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
He was brought back to the country under the cover of darkness in February and since then had been held incommunicado.
He will be buried tomorrow. (6th May 2010)
A meeting is going on at present at the Presidential Villa.
Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to be sworn in shortly.
