He had also collapsed in Bauchi State while attending a ceremony organized by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to welcome Governor Isa Yuguda, an in-law to the President who decamped to the ruling party.

President Yar'Adua has been diagnosed with Churg Straus Syndrome, an inflammations of the Blood vessel, a Kidney problem and yet to be confirmed Pulmonary Fibrosis for which he has at various times visited Saudi Arabia and Germany for treatments.
