The announcement of the death of former Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari by the presidency has generated a lot of talking point moments after his passage.
Nigerians on social media in the first hours of Saturday morning pour out their tributes to the Presidency and family of the late Chief of Staff.
Abba Kyari, you recall, tested positive to COVID-19 some three weeks ago and had since been receiving treatment till his passage. Three of his staff reportedly tested positive too.
Nigerians on Twitter have expressed sadness and prayed for forgiveness for the departed.
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.

Not a time to play politics or dig up conspiracies. You should respect the dead and take any issues you have to the living.
RIP to Abba Kyari.

I sincerely hope that Nigerians do not gloat over the death of Mallam Abba Kyari. May his soul rest in peace.
Death is the end that all of us must suffer.
One death won’t transform our health sector overnight.
We still have our work cut out for us.

When I chatted with him exactly on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, he assured me his health was fine and that he would faithfully take the treatments. But God always knows best. Sincere condolences to the Kyari family and the Government of Nigeria. Adieu Mallam Abba Kyari. https://t.co/EZ3BX2qibd
