Book: Late Nigeria President (Umaru Yar'adua) Wilted Away In Office-AP
Nigeria’s late President Umaru Yar’Adua grew so weak while in office that at one stage he needed to be carried by a soldier during a state visit to Togo, ultimately becoming unable to speak in the last weeks of his life, according to a new book by his former spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi. Umaru Yar’Adua died in May 2010 and according to a book written by his former spokesman the ill president became a political pawn in a charade that saw soldiers deployed without authorization and rumors of a possible coup in the oil-rich nation.
