Iledare
Oluwajuwonlo, a singer and songwriter better known as Jaywon, has chided
Nigerians who are gloating over the death of Abba Kyari, a deceased chief of
staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kyari had died from
COVID-19 complications on Friday evening, about two weeks after he had gone
into isolation after testing positive for the novel disease following an
official trip to Germany.
The tragic news has
since opened the floodgates of mixed reactions on social media platforms with
tributes pouring in as words of Kyari’s death spread.
Taking to Twitter
alongside celebrities to mourn Kyari, Jaywon warned his followers that it’s
allowed to criticize the government on policy-related issues but not gloat over
the death of a serving official.
“You can criticize
the government anyhow you want. But you making fun of the dead is a No. To all
those that wanted him dead, be happy for the rest of your life. Rest in Peace
Abba Kyari,” he wrote.

Before his death,
Kyari had reassured Nigerians he was feeling well but would move to Lagos where
he had made his own arrangement as regards medical care.
“Like many others
that will test also positive, I have not experienced high fever or other
symptoms associated with this new virus and have been working from home,” he
had written.
“I hope to be back
at my desk very soon. I have a team of young, professional, knowledgeable and
patriotic colleagues, whose dedication has been beyond the call of duty.
“They continue to
work seven days a week, with no time of the day spared. We will continue to
serve the President and people of Nigeria, as we have for the past five years.”
