“It’s with a great sense of personal loss and grief that I mourn the unexpected passage of Malam Abba Kyari, the patriotic, hardworking, loyalist and Chief of Staff to our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We the people of North-east and the nation we lost a friend, a patriot and partner in the journey towards building a nation of our dream.
Dr. Al-Amin further described Kyari’s death as a great loss to the North-east and the country,
He said that death of Kiyari’s is painful having paid the ultimate price in the service of the fatherland, as he is said to have contracted the dreaded Covid-19 virus while representing the country on an official assignment.
