The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says the death of Abba Kayri has two major implications on Nigeria.
ABN TV had reported earlier that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the President died of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Friday, April 17.
A statement on the micro-blogging site, Twitter by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity confirmed the development.
The Presidential media aide tweeted: “The deceased had tested positive to the ravaging COVID-19 and had been receiving treatment. But he died on Friday, April 17, 2020.
“May God accept his soul. Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly,” Adesina had tweeted.
Reacting to Kyari’s death in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, Kanu, who is on exile in the United Kingdom, said the first implication Kyari’s death has on Nigeria is that the country lost her de-facto President.
Kanu who has always referred to President Muhammadu Buhari has an impostor whose name is Jubril Al-Sudani from Sudan, said the second implication Kyari’s death has on Nigeria is that the billions allegedly stolen by the former Chief of Staff may not be recovered.
His words: “Kyari’s DEATH has 2 major implications. First – Nigeria, despite being in denial, has lost her de-facto PRESIDENT. Second – the BILLIONS of dollars STOLEN by Kyari & secreted away in Europe, especially the UK, may never be recovered unless worldwide pressure is brought to bear.”
