Nigeria's ruling party presidential contender, Umaru Yar'Adua, has arrived back in Nigeria and is to resume campaigning for April's election.
He landed in Lagos, after flying to Germany last week for medical tests when he collapsed at a campaign rally.
The 55-year-old is the frontrunner to win the election and has previously suffered from a kidney illness.
His collapse prompted speculation that he could be replaced as the People Democratic Party's candidate.
Yar'Adua told the BBC earlier this week that he had suffered from breathlessness and had taken his doctor's advice to have a thorough medical check-up abroad.
Yar'Adua was a relatively unknown northern Muslim governor before he won the governing party primaries with the backing of President Olusegun Obasanjo - who steps down after two terms in power.
As the governing party's candidate, he is widely considered to be the favourite to become Nigeria's next president
Let's all wait and see
