Bola Tinubu,
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the death
of the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari.
Tinubu described the
late Kyari as a man of accomplishment whose death due to the raging Coronavirus
pandemic should not be in vain.
In a statement he
personally signed, the APC National Leader said
government should use Kyari’s demise and others who fell to the virus to
strengthen its resolve in fighting the pandemic.
Tinubu said: “I’m
deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Malam Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff
to the President. He was an extremely able, loyal and talented man who
dedicated his considerable skills to the success of the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Whatever someone
will try to say about Mallam Kyari, the words will prove insufficient. His
influence in government and throughout the land was substantial and profound.
He will surely be missed. My deepest condolences go to President Buhari, the
people of Nigeria and especially the family of Malam Kyari over this tragic
loss. May Almighty Allah comfort the president and the Kyari family at this
difficult moment.
“This death came at
a time the government is working assiduously to prevent the spread of the
Coronavirus pandemic. We must not allow the passing away of Mallam Kyari and
the other Nigerians who have lost their lives to this terrible disease to be in
vain. Although we are today made sad, we must also use this moment to
strengthen our resolve in fighting the pandemic.
“Let us rededicate
ourselves to obeying the public health measures such as physical distancing so
that we may defeat the contagion and not fall to it. While we must maintain
spatial distance from one another, we must yet come closer in the spirit of
brotherly compassion and national purpose in order to defeat the threat we now
face.
“Mallam Kyari was a
man of accomplishment. We know not why Almighty Allah has taken him at this
time. Allah’s will is supreme and there is no questioning it. Yet we must learn
from Mallam Kyari’s passing. We must honour the departed by doing all we can to
defeat the virus so that we safeguard the health of the nation that Mallam
Kyari loved so deeply.
“To the family of
Mallam Kyari, may Almighty Allah support and comfort them during this painful
moment. My condolences are also with Governor Babagana Zulum, the government
and people of Borno State over the loss of their extraordinary son.
“I pray that Allah
Subuhana Watahalah grant the soul of our beloved Mallam Kyari eternal rest and
admit him to Aljana Firdaus.”
