The Personal
Assistant to the President on New Media, Malam Bashir Ahmed, has described
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, late Abba Kyari, as one of the
most misunderstood persons in the history of Nigeria.
The Presidency had
in the early hours of Saturday announced the death of Abba Kyari, who had
tested positive to the ravaging COVID-19.
Kyari died on
Friday.
In what appears to
be a tribute to late Abba Kyari, on his Twitter page, @BashirAhmaad, on
Saturday, the presidential aide also described the deceased as a man of honour,
who sacrificed his life for Nigeria.
“Abba Kyari
certainly was one of the most misunderstood people in the history of Nigeria.
“Those who had the
opportunity to know him personally will tell you how extremely a good person he
was.
“He was a man of
honour and will be remembered as someone who sacrificed his life for this
country,’’ Ahmed twitted.
Kyari was first
appointed as Chief of Staff to the President in August 2015 and reappointed in
2019 by President Buhari.
Kyari, aged 82, left
behind a wife and four children and would be buried later in the day.
The Nigeria Centre
for Disease Control (NCDC) had announced that as at 11.00 p.m. on April 17,
there were 493 confirmed cases of COVID-19 pandemic in the country, while 157
had been recovered, with 17 death.
