Babagana Zulum,
governor of Borno state, says Abba Kyari, the late chief of staff to the
president, never kept him waiting during the six times they met.
Zulum said the late
politician was always at his office before their appointments which were all
scheduled for 8am.
Kyari died on Friday
after battling COVID-19. He was from Borno.
During a condolence
visit to his extended family in Banki town on Sunday, Zulum described the late
chief of staff to the president as a “humble and highly disciplined public
officer whose dedication to work was uncommon”.
“And in all the six
appointments scheduled to see me 8am in his office at the Villa and
surprisingly, all the times, I was there before the time and there was never a
time I met his absence.
“He was always in
office ahead of our 8am appointments. I never had to wait for him. He did not
disappoint me for once.”
Speaking later at
the Borno government house, Zulum added that Kyari was a man of integrity, “who
served the president with the highest commitment, loyalty and sincerity”.
He said the late
Abba Kyari had played “silent but crucial role” in Borno’s fight against Boko
Haram, mitigation of humanitarian crisis and rehabilitation of victims.
