Buhari's accident
The president's son reportedly crashed his power bike while racing with a friend in the capital city and was promptly rushed to Cedacrest for medical attention.
In a press statement signed by the president's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Wednesday, December 27, he revealed that Yusuf had already undergone surgery and was in a stable condition.
He said, "Yusuf Buhari had a bike accident last night around Gwarimpa in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. He broke a limb and had an injury to the head as a result. He has undergone surgery at a clinic in Abuja. He is in a stable condition.
"The President and his wife, Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, are thankful to Nigerians for the good wishes and prayers for their son."
Despite media reports that he had been flown to Germany for better medical care early on Thursday, Shehu denied the reports, saying that Buhari is still being treated in the country.
According to his sister, Zahra Buhari-Indimi, on her Instagram account later on Thursday, Yusuf Buhari was in a better condition.
