It’s sad to see Nigerians making a Joke out of Abba Kyari’s death.
He was such a Visionary leader who changed the Life of the average Nigerian since his re-election, transformed our health sector and laid down his life for the greater good.
RIP Sir, your memory lives on. 💔

My sincere and heartfelt condolence go to the family of Mallam Abba Kyari, the late Chief of Staff to General @MBuhari, who has died at 81 from #CoronaVirus. He was one of the more effective and loyal members of Buhari’s kitchen cabinet. Whatever our differences, he loved Nigeria

Abba Kyari was not elected. He was selected by @MBuhari to serve him. He did a good job serving Buhari. Take your anger out on Buhari. He is the one you elected. Allow Kyari to RIP. If you have a friend as loyal as Abba Kyari, God has blessed you! #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets

In years to come students of history will find late Malam Abba Kyari interesting.The power, the influence, the intrigues, the mystery and controversy surrounding this COS to the Nigerian President will keep historians busy for many years. My condolences to his family & Nigerians.

Abba Kyari's daughter that was always disrespecting Aisha Buhari is about to experience what it means to be under the same roof with Patience Ozokwor.
She should ask Nkiru Sylvanus for past questions.
