There are indications that the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari has been hospitalised following trauma she suffered after the shocking news of the condition of her son, Yusuf who was last Tuesday involved in a motorbike accident in Abuja.
It is gathered that she was in Adamawa when the news was broken to her and she immediately rushed to Abuja to see him at Cedacrest private hospital, where he is currently being attended to but was denied access to the intensive ward by security operatives.
One of the sources said following the denial of access, she became traumatized, and consequently drew conclusion that the action of was a move to shield her from knowing the true condition of Yusuf’s health and how bad it was after the accident.
Consequently, The Guardian learnt yesterday that Mrs. Buhari has been placed on bed rest at the same private hospital in Abuja.
According to the Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, Yusuf sustained a head injury and broken limbs.
“The President and his wife, Aisha Buhari, are thankful to Nigerians for the good wishes and prayers for their son. “May God reward you all,” the statement added.
Staff of the presidential villa and aides of the President on Thursday offered special prayers for the quick recovery of Yusuf.
President Buhari was also joined by prominent Nigerians at the Aso Villa Mosque yesterday where special prayers were offered for the speedy recovery of the young man.
