| U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr |
.
Even though voters in his Chicago-area district re-elected him to a 10th two-year term this month U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Junior resigned from Congress effective Wednesday, citing the need to spend time "restoring my health."
Jackson, who announced
his resignation in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, has been is
the subject of several investigations and was recently treated at the
Mayo Clinic for what was described as "several serious health issues."
"For 17 years I have
given 100% of my time, energy, and life to public service," Jackson
wrote. "However, over the past several months, as my health has
deteriorated, my ability to serve the constituents of my district has
continued to diminish. Against the recommendations of my doctors, I had
hoped and tried to return to Washington and continue working on the
issues that matter most to the people of the Second District. I know now
that will not be possible."
Can any Nigerian leader do that? #thatwouldbeamiracle
