The President’s health remained the issue at the weekend.
Ministers launched consultations with stakeholders and their constituents to allay fears about President Umaru Yar’Adua’s health.
He is undergoing treatment in a Saudi Arabia hospital after being diagnosed with pericarditis (inflammation of the covering of the heart).
Besides, the National Council of Women’s Societies of Nigeria (NCWS) declared a one-day fast and prayer.
In Katsina, President Yar’Adua’s home-state, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemned former House of Representatives Speaker Bello Masari for joining the call for the President to quit office. The party urged the emir to strip Masari of his traditional title.
