A federal court in Nigeria on Friday issued a 14-day ultimatum to the country’s Cabinet to decide whether ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua is fit enough to lead the African nation.

In an effort to end the country’s leadership crisis triggered by the hospitalization of Yar’Adua in Saudi Arabia for treating a heart condition two months ago, the Federal High Court ordered the Cabinet on Friday to pass a resolution on the state of health of the ailing president within 14 days. RTT
