Buhari’s Son Escapes Bike Accident Death, Ogbu Says He Deserves It

Yusuf Buhari, son of President Muhammadu Buhari, escaped death after a near-fatal bike accident last night around Gwarimpa in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, he broke

He underwent surgery at a clinic in Abuja and is now in a stable condition.

Reacting to the accident, a social media commentator, Mr Charles Ogbu said that Buhari’s son, Yusuf “deserves no empathy from any reasonable Nigerian over the accident”.

This, according to him, is because the guy is an embodiment of the criminal insensitivity with which the rogue government of his father treats common Nigerians.

He said: “At a time when poor masses are sleeping in filling station to buy fuel at an exorbitant price just to travel home for the Christmas and new year celebration, the son of the man who is directly responsible for this unimaginable suffering was busy doing Power Bike speed race with his friend on a public road, thereby endangering the lives of other road users.

“After grooving with our money in company of his friends, Yusuf Buhari didn’t think it wise to empathize with poor Nigerians by quietly driving or riding home in peace, he chose to mock us by engaging in racing competition with his friends using the same fuel for which thousands of Nigerians spent their holiday at the fuel station.

“Why should I waste my empathy on such a fellow? Now, he’s been operated upon. At our expense of course.

“If I waste my expensive empathy on an over-indulged insensitive son of an irresponsible President, which one will I spend on poor Nigerians dying everyday on our road due to the legendary ineptitude of this President?”
