With the announcement last night, of the death of President Umar Musa Yar’adua, the Nigerian state has been thrown into mourning.
Yar’adua, who was battling a kidney and heart problem, had not been seen publicly since he left the country for treatment in Saudi Arabia on Monday November 23, 2009. He returned early this year, to Abuja, shortly after the Senate declared his assistant, Goodluck Jonathan Acting President.
Believed to be holed inside Aso Rock, the seat of power, the president did not make any public appearance until the announcement of his death yesterday.
Reliable sources tell NET Yar’adua will be buried this afternoon, at 2:00PM Nigerian time.
The Acting President has already declared today a work-free day, and urged Nigerians to embark on a seven-day mourning.
Thousands, including top CEOs, government officials, politicians, business leaders and tycoons are already abandoning all engagements; heading to Abuja and Katsina to pay their last respects to the late president.
Yar’adua is the first Nigerian civilian president to die in ‘power’.
However, the president died with his public image in tatters, following repeated criticisms and protests from notable Nigerians and millions of youths, over his ‘refusal’ to resign because of his failing health. The political turmoil that followed, and the shenanigans that enveloped Abuja crippled governance for months, and many blamed Yar’aduas’ wife Turai and his closest associates for the endless manipulation.
It is expected that Goodluck Jonathan will now be confirmed as President. It is also expected that he will appoint a vice.
The next Presidential elections are already scheduled for 2011.
The late President Yar’Adua was 58. He was born on August 15, 1951.

what a comment as if u are not human,so u stay and never die…Usless thing.
I reckon he deselve honor and respect at his death.Death is above man kind sour comments are too hash on him. I think wat actually hapen is that Turai was wicked to his husband. He would have allowed the state over the treatment.

When he was sick we were not allowed to hear or see him;so why r they suddenly telling us abt his death,so suddenly saw dat this concerns us. We thank them all,may the God of justice judge them all.
What difference would it have made if U were allowed to see him?would that change the fact that dis gentleman died today,Why are people like U making stupid comments?a life was lost & all U could say is U were not allowed 2 see him.Ok follow him now since U must see him.
Indeed Nigerian has loss honest and dedicated leader. May his soul rest in peace.ameen

In d hand of d keeper shall we all go to, it is of a great loss to d country and d entire world , but not 4 nothing,becos i believe nothing is gained without sacrifice, so with d whole sacrifice he made 4 d nation, 4 a better future has gone beyond, dat is he has cross over with our seven point aganda to a place where it will be safe and excuted well.
