With N4,800, I can heal Yar'Adua, says Labour Leader

SOME 65 days after President Umaru Yar'Adua left Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to battle for his life, one of the labour leaders in the South-South zone, says he has the answer to the president's protracted health crisis.

Vice  President of the  Construction and  Civil Engineering Senior Staff Association (CCESSA), Mr. Golden Thompson, told our correspondent in an exclusive interview in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Monday that he has what it takes to rescue Yar'Adua from the claws of death.

Thompson claimed that the amount needed to bring the president back to his feet is just N4, 800. ''The thing there is that the president must be flown down to Akwa Ibom State by any means necessary for me to heal him'', he said.

''Once the president is brought to me, he will in no time bounce back to life to face the challenges of his office and his 2011 re-election campaigns'', he added.

Thompson hails from   Ekim Town in Mkpat Enin   Local  Government Area of Akwa Ibom state, and resides in Port Harcourt.

According to him, ''Yar’Adua’s ailment resulted from complication of combination of diseases and can not be healed by orthodox medicine''.

''What needs to be done is to flush his system with the relevant fluid from certain herbs and the president will come back to normal life and resume his duties'', he said.

The labour leader is claiming that he acquired curative powers from his late father who had been deploying his power to the public without costs.

''I am not happy with the controversies that have dogged the President Yar'Adua's ill-health. I am capable of curing my president if his handlers and his immediate family will give me the benefit of doubt. I am not looking for money or attention, i just want to be of help'', he said. 

Continuing, he insisted that once healed, Yar’Adua  will have the capacity to do a second term.

''We are just being confused by the medical terminology of his ailment. I know much about it. God will use me to get him back on track for the benefit of the country.I have the herbs spiritually delivered to me to cure such sicknesses. I have done that many a time without publicity because i did not acquire the power to make money'', he said.
