“OFFICIALLY may Abba Kyari RIP.
“UNOFFICIALLY I don’t care as this crisis in Nigeria was worsened by the social irresponsibility of people like him and total neglect of our health sector by the government; a government he was part of.
“The chickens are slowly coming home to roost.”
“May the soul of Abba Kyari the chief of staff to Mr President rest in peace. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss. Everyone must complete this circle someday. Be prepared.”
“Abba Kyari was Buhari’s right hand man. Buhari will feel this in his soul. Thoughts and prayers are with him.”
“Abba Kyari, was tested positive for coronavirus after a trip to Germany & Egypt, to discuss about issues related to Nigeria. Unfortunately many people rejoiced & wish death upon him. He is no more now & neither u or ur father can occupy the position. Rest in peace Mallam.”
“May the Almighty Allah forgive and be Merciful to Malam Abba Kyari (Chief of Staff to the President). May He (SWT) bless us with a good end,…”
“We all could have been Mallam Abba Kyari, if not for God’s merciful intervention.
“It is sad, my spirit is very down. Allay ya yafe mashi, ya mashi sakayya da janna. ?????????”
