[edit] His age

According to The Nigerian Village Square and The Punch Yar'Adua was born in 1951, according to Gamji and the BBC in 1950. --Ankimai 20:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

His website, on its biography page, says 1951, so we should consider that to be the authoritative date. Picaroon 21:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

This page needs some serious editing! he was elected president this morning

can some body step up and edit this page?

Vandalism: Someone has added the word 'cock' several times.

[edit] Ethnic group

What is his ethnic group? Badagnani 17:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

As the Daily Independent puts it:^[1] he's a »full-blooded Fulani«. --Ankimai 21:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Still governor?

He became governor of Katsina in 1999. Is he still governor today? If so, when does he hand that position over to his successor? Badagnani 08:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assumed office?

his 7 piont political agenda not listed.It says in the infobox "assumed office May 29, 2007". Why is this past tense? If anything it should be future tense. Anyone know if there is a possible way to do this or should we just hold our peace for the next 33 days? --Valley2city^₪‽ 08:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
