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.

Buhari Media team can update us on Yusuf Buhari, a Private citizen that we didn’t elect, but they can’t update on on Muhammadu Buhari, our democratically elected President.
