| The Nigerian cabinet has rejected calls for President Umaru Yar’Adua to resign on grounds of ill health. The country’s Information Minister Dora Akunyili said there was no basis to consider a resignation and that all aspects of government were functioning. About 50 senior Nigerian politicians had issued a statement saying the president’s illness left a dangerous vacuum with no one in charge of the affairs of state. Mary Harper has more. The wording of the statement is blunt into the point. The president’s illness, it says, has created a dangerous situation whereby no one is in charge of the affairs of state. It talks about a vacuum of leadership, whereby ministers are engaged in fighting and routinely flout the orders of the president. Many of the people who’ve signed the statement are prominent figures in Nigeria. Their words reflect the general mood in the country where there’s real concern that the president’s recurring health problems have frequently rendered him incapable of doing his job. |
