Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to news of Yusuf Buhari’s accident saying his family will be praying for him.

NAIJ.com had reported that Yusuf who is the son of President Muhammadu Buhari was involved in a bike accident in Abuja.

The presidency confirmed Yusuf suffered a head injury and multiple fractures in a power bike accident in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Tuesday, December 26, night.

Reliable sources said Yusuf was out riding with a friend when the incident happened.

A source said: “Yusuf was trying to overtake his friend when he suddenly veered off the road and skidded. He lay there unconscious for a while before the first lady was alerted.

“She ordered that he be immediately rushed to Cedarcrest Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment. We are more concerned about the head injury than the fractures. As I speak to you, Yusuf is unconscious.

“An air ambulance may take him out of the country any moment," the source added.

The former vice president in his reaction via his twitter page on Wednesday, December 27, wrote: “Our thoughts are with the first family - our family will be praying for you. We wish Yusuf a speedy recovery.”

NAIJ.com earlier reported that the president's son was listed as one of the most eligible bachelors in Nigeria.

This title was bestowed on Yusuf after his father mounted the presidential seat.

The handsome young man has a lot of girls wanting to be called his "mrs" and this interest is shown all over social media with some girls even taking his last name (without proper procedure of course), the gesture shows how much this first son is winning the hearts of the ladies.
