The president has broken his contract with the Nigerian people who voted him into office. Even if he now appears to have resurrected and able to give a barely-over-one-minute-interview on BBC, there are just too many controversies surrounding his medical stay in Saudi Arabia to warrant forgiveness from the Nigerian people.
Dead or alive, Alhaji Umaru YarAdua is no longer fit to govern Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Is it confirmed that it is indeed the voice of Yaradua? In Nigeria anything can happen. Yes we are in serious political problems in Nigeria if only BBC can get to a Nigerian president while Nigeria media could not!

Yes, another manifestation of colonial mentality that is inherent in African leaders! Why do we have NTA or Radio Nigeria if yarda’s first statement after 50 days will be made on a foreign media? But I’m not surprised, after all, did he run to a foreign land to receive treatment for his problem?
The man, or his impersonator, does not get it at all!
