Yusuf Buhari to be Flown to Germany for Treatment
President Muhammadu Buhari and family are seriously considering the option of flying their son Yusuf abroad for advanced medical treatment.
Yusuf, who was involved in a bike accident at Gwarimpa in Abuja on Tuesday night, is currently at Cedacrest Hospital in the nation’s capital.
A visit to the Cedacrest hospital on Wednesday evening, saw armed mobile policemen were seen guarding the place for maximum protection.
Young Yusuf, the only son of President Muhammadu Buhari and wife, Aisha, had sustained life-threatening injury in a motorcycle accident and broke a limb, which made him undergo a surgery.
In a statement on Wednesday, Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, said Yusuf is in a stable condition.
But a reliable source told reporters that Shehu’s statement was not very accurate looking at the severity of the sustained injury.
“The statement did not reflect the true situation of things. The boy is in a critical condition. He has been in the intensive care unit,” said the source.
“Doctors in the hospital were even scared to attend to him just in case anything went wrong. Imagine doctors being scared to perform their duty. He is the only son of the president.”
The source added that the president’s family were making plans to get an air ambulance that would convey Yusuf to a German hospital which has an affiliation with Cedacrest, the only orthopaedic specialist hospital in Abuja.
The doctors have reportedly advised them not to fly Yusuf out at the moment, explaining that it is dangerous to move him out in his current state.
“The last time they mentioned flying him abroad for better treatment, the medical team advised them against it because the boy needs to be in a good condition before he leaves,” the source added.
“But they do not seem to be satisfied with the advice and they are seriously considering flying him out.”
Top politicians and prominent personalities have been reaching out to the first family over the unfortunate situation.
Earlier, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar said his family was with the Buharis’ in prayers.
Senate President Bukola Saraki, Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, and some governors have also sympathised with the president.
