Some prominent Nigerians have begun to express sympathy with President Muhammadu Buhari over the involvement of his son, Yusuf, in a bike accident in Abuja.
Some of the sympathizers are former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Yusuf was involved in a bike accident Tuesday where he sustained a head injury and broke a limb.
He was operated upon in Abuja.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity confirmed the incident on Wednesday pointing out that the president’s son had become stable.
Following the development, Jonathan sent a message to the president in a tweet.
“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,’’ he said.
A similar message was sent by Atiku Abubakar.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in his message prayed that: “May the Almighty grant Yusuf Buhari a quick and full recovery. My prayers are with President Buhari and his family at this time.’’
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) also prayed for the quick recovery of the president’s son.
“I wish Yusuf Buhari a very quick recovery. A young man full of promise. My family and I want President @MBuhari to know that we are with him and his family in our thoughts and prayers,” he said.
