Olumide Braithwaite, only son of the late elder statesman Tunji Braithwaite, has been involved in an accident in Abuja.
The family stated this in a press release on Sunday, noting that Braithwaite was now in a stable condition and responding to treatment.
The incident, which occurred on May 23 near the CBN headquarters, involved a buillion van and a Hilux pickup truck.
Braithwaite, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and strong member of the party’s media team during the presidential campaign last year, was said to have lost consciousness at the scene of the accident.
