Book: Late Nigeria president wilted away in office (AP)

FILE- Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua addresses the 62nd session of the United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters, Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2007.  Nigeria's late President Umaru Yar'Adua grew so weak while in office that at one stage he needed to be carried by a soldier during a state visit to Togo, ultimately becoming unable to speak in the last weeks of his life, according to a new book by his former spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi. Umaru Yar'Adua died in May 2010 and according to a book written by his former spokesman the ill president became a political pawn in a charade that saw soldiers deployed without authorization and rumors of a possible coup in the oil-rich nation.
