Inside story of Yar’Adua(President) death scare

For the second time in one year, the country was awash with alarm of the death of President Umar Yar’Adua, who traveled to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment. Phone calls had come from across the country and some parts of the world trying to confirm if the rumour was true.

A caller from Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, had called Saturday Sun, on Wednesday night, saying: “Hello, I want to know if it true that Yar’Adua (President Umar Musa Yar’Adua) is dead. It is a common story here.” Many other asked similar question, as Nigerians panicked that the eventuality may have happened.

However, while President Yar’Adua did not die, it was gathered that he was actually under intensive care in Saudi Arabia, after he was admitted into a hospital on Monday.

Sources in Abuja said that even when the president left Nigeria at the weekend, he was not in the best of health. He was said to be weak and getting pale, prompting his doctors to advise that he went abroad for thorough medical examination.
On getting to Saudi Arabia, it was gathered, Yar’Adua was placed under close monitoring, after series of tests were run. Doctors at the Saudi hospital confirmed, by Tuesday, that they were still running test, without going into the details of what was wrong with the president. However, presidential spokesman, Segun Adeniyi, confirmed that Yar’Adua had been diagonised of heart problem.

Sources said that the diagonised problem had caused the swelling of Yar’Adua’s heart, sparking fear that at that rate a cardiac arrest could occur. It was also gathered that by Thursday, when the heart condition was diagonised, Yar’Adua was placed on life-support machine, to reduce the pressure on his heart, coupled with the fact that he was weak.

Meanwhile, while the rumour over the condition of Yar’Adua rattled the country, it was gathered that many power brokers in the North had made a move to confirm it as well as douse the tension it generated. One influential figure in the North, Saturday Sun gathered, had called the ADC to Yar’Adua to ascertain the situation in Saudi Arabia. It was gathered that the ADC confirmed that although a retinue of doctors were attending to his boss on Wednesday, he was alive.

With such reassuring news, the influential northerner, who always keeps close tab on Yar’Adua wherever he is, in turn, told other people in Nigeria that there was no cause for alarm.
However, while only a few Nigerians knew the true position of things, regarding the president’s health, the rumour mill had a field day. Most of those who talked about it did so as if they had authentic information.
This is not the first time Yar’Adua had been rumoured to have died.

A few months ago when he traveled to Saudi Arabia for state function and then decided to do medical check up, the country was agog with the news that he had died. In fact, the rumour was so strong that power brokers in the North were said to have met to discuss how to handle the succession programme. It was only when Yar’Adua returned, after a while, that Nigerians believed he was alive. The president that fired the then Secretary to the Government of the Federal, Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe thereafter.

Catalogue of death rumour trailing Yar’Adua
When Yar’Adua showed up in the political scene two years ago, to vie for presidency, the old rumour received life once again. While the campaigns were on for the number one seat, Nigeria was jolted one fateful day with a story that Yar’Adua had died in a hospital outside the country. It took a phone call to Yar’Adua, during a political rally, for Nigeria to believe that he was alive.

In September, last year, when Yar’Adua travelled to Saudi Arabia, the same tale was repeated leaving the country in a franzy. However, the rumour took some victims, as those fingered in creating the story and making efforts to replace Yar’adua if he died got the hammer.

Funny enough, for this third time the rumour is coming while Yar’Adua is in Saudi Arabia. The big question, therefore, why is there rumour of death whenever Yar’Adua goes for medical treatment? Sources say the problem may be the condition of the president, especially since it is belived that the kidney probelm, which he is said to have, is a terminal disease.

The fears
A Consultant Surgeon, Dr Emmanuel Enabulele described the president's diagnosed symptom as very serious condition, which needs a serious solution for him to survive. In a phone chat he described acute pericarditis as a developmen, which could lead to acute bi-venticular situation which could progress to constrictive pericarditis that could also lead to chronic heart failure if nothing is done.

He explained pericarditis to mean the inflammation of the pericardium, which is the fibrous sac surrounding the heart, explaining that this can occur in a situation when the body is reacting to substance that the President may be taking. Dr Enabulele said the present situation in which the President is gives cause for Nigerians to worry, adding that there is need for a heart surgery.

Saturday Sun learnt that pericarditis may be caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, but the Consultant Surgeon said it may also be as a situation of troubled heart..

No hajj for the president
Responding to a report on a foreign wire service that Yar'Adua would perform the hajj, presidential spokesman Adeniyi dismissed it as not true, pointing out that even before he travelled, he (president) knew he was not going to perform the hajj.

“Even when I did the first draft of the statement, I stated that the president will do medicals and undergo Hajj, but he said no, I am not going to do Hajj. So there is no way he is going to do Hajj,” Adeniyi said.
On when the president was expected back into the country, he said “once I know, I will tell you; I will give you an update”.

Meanwhile, Adeniyi said the president had directed the vice president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to receive on his behalf the Muslim community in Abuja today when they pay the traditional Sallah homage.
