ABUJA, April 2 (Reuters) – Ailing Nigerian President Umaru Yar’Adua, who has not been seen in public since last November, met with top Islamic clerics at his residence in the capital Abuja, media outlets reported on Friday.
Ustaz Musa Mohammed, the chief imam of the Abuja National Mosque, told the BBC and Nigeria’s ThisDay and Daily Trust newspapers, that he shook Yar’Adua’s hand and prayed with him on Thursday. He said the ailing leader had difficulty speaking. (Reporting by Randy Fabi; Editing by Jon Boyle)
