I have been in Liberia monitoring elections and only just heard the sad news. My family and I are in prayers for the quick recovery of Yusuf Buhari. It is my deep desire that a young man so full of promise should live and thrive to fulfil the promises God has domiciled in him.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that the Buharis are seriously considering flying their son abroad for advanced medical treatment.
Contrary to reports from the Presidency, there are indications that the boy is in a critical condition with sources claiming that he has been in the intensive care unit since the accident.
However, the doctors at Cedacrest, Abuja, have reportedly advised them not to fly Yusuf out at the moment because the boy needs to be in a good condition before he leaves.
