Umaru Yar'Adua's health and running a Country

Moments after he sneaked out of the country for what was thought to be a "lesser Hajj" pilgrimage, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua has thrown the entire press and the country into a net of confusion with all sorts of uncertainties.

More than two weeks ago the president reshuffled his service chiefs and embarking on the trip to Saudi Arabia, the country has been left guessing about the condition of his health and when he will be back to the coutry to continue the work he was "elected" to perform.

The latest report from Paul Okolo in Nigeria based on what This Day is saying indicates the president's return might be delayed due to a series of tests performed at a Saudi Arabia hospital.

The question here is, with all the natural resources and human capital Nigeria boasts of, how come there hasn't been an established standard hospital in that so-called nation to attend to an ailing president? Why should he be flown abroad for medical attention? Is Saudi Arabia better off in terms of science and technology when it comes to structuring a fabricated nation?

Whatever happens we hope the truth will come to light.
