December 1, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
Reliable sources in Saudi Arabia, yesterday, told Vanguard that the President, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua was in stable condition, even as the Senate President, Chief David Mark, called on Nigerians to pray for nine consecutive days for the quick recovery of the President.
Meantime, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stressed that it was contemplating any plan to force any office holder to resign his office.
The Senate President who urged the people to shun the unfounded rumours on the President’s health also distanced himself from speculations on a possible North/South dichotomy arising from the implications of the President’s ill health.
Vanguard sources in Saudi Arabia who described the President’s condition as stable added that it is a ‘no leave, no surrender’ situation.
