Saudi doctors treating the Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua have considered transferring him either to the US or Germany.
President Yar'Adua's health condition has allegedly been worsening and he needs to be moved to a country with more advanced medical equipment.
The Nigerian leader was flown to Germany a little over two years ago for similar treatment and was discharged a couple of days later after doctors declared him fit to return home and assume his task.
This is the third time that President Yar'Adua is in hospital for an acute pericarditis --an inflammation of the covering of the heart-- since he won a troubled election to succeed former President Olusegun Obasanjo nearly three years ago.
Local media quoted the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the leader is being treated as saying that the Nigerian president would have to stay in hospital for the next three months.
This is in sharp contrast with a Nigerian government press statement which had said that President Yar'Adua was "responding well to treatment and was watching football matches from his hospital bed."
